Unlock the power of positive behavior intervention supports for your students
Behavior Management: Principles and Practices of Positive Behavior Supports provides readers with a thorough overview of behavior analysis and PBIS theory and applications. Using vignettes and student examples, the book shows teachers how to achieve optimal behavioral and learning outcomes for their students-regardless of the challenging behavior exhibited. Chapters address universal tools such as reinforcement, meaningful instruction, and student progress monitoring. Behavior support plans demonstrate how to implement techniques for students at all levels and abilities across learning environments

Referencing the latest research in the field, the 4th Edition:

  • Features current coverage of the most important behavior management topics to demonstrate how PBIS is evolving and can be applied as a proactive means of promoting meaningful outcomes for all students
  • Expands its focus on prevention to pinpoint how meaningful instruction can be used to intercept challenging behaviors (Throughout, and chs. 4 and 10)
  • Expands its emphasis on schoolwide PBIS to demonstrate how it can be applied to prevent and minimize challenging behavior (Ch. 11)
  • Increases emphasis on student progress monitoring and assessment to discuss ways to use single-case designs to track student performance (Ch. 6)
