Managing Challenging Behaviors in Schools

Now in a fully revised second edition, this acclaimed, highly practical book reviews the breadth of proven strategies for preventing and responding to problem behavior in grades K–12 classrooms. Meeting the needs of real-world practitioners, the expert authors address all three tiers of intervention within a Comprehensive, Integrated, Three-Tiered (Ci3T) model. Educators are guided to implement effective instructional and classroom management practices to meet students’ learning, behavioral, and social and emotional well-being needs (Tier 1). Chapters also describe more intensive interventions for students who need more than Tier 1 efforts have to offer (Tiers 2 and 3 interventions). In a convenient large-size format, the volume includes more than a dozen reproducible and downloadable forms.
