As students pose more severe and complex problem behaviors, give your educators much-needed classroom-based intervention strategies. Twenty chapters each detail step-by-step guidance on a specific intervention — from timeouts and study carrels, to paraprofessional supports and point systems.

Plus, scenarios show each intervention being used appropriately and inappropriately — pointing out best practices and common pitfalls you can now avoid. Learn how to reduce problem behavior and lost instruction time — and ultimately improve academic performance — using:

• Positive reinforcement to help students manage behavior and set goals
• Timeout to help students identify and avoid behavioral triggers
• In-school suspension to manage behavior and stem out-of-school suspensions
• Behavioral contracts to support positive behavior
• Level systems to help students become more self-sufficient
• And more

Also includes guidance on how educators can set classroom rules and expectations and engage in active listening. Get copies for all your teachers so they have a handy classroom reference!
