Solve serious behavior challenges in K-8 classrooms with the updated
second edition of this bestselling book, your practical, user-friendly
guide to the Prevent-Teach-Reinforce (PTR) model. Developed by highly
respected experts on positive behavior support, this research-proven
model gives your school team a step-by-step blueprint for reducing
problems unresolved by typical behavior management strategies. You'll
get explicit guidance and strategies for implementing all five steps of
PTR: 1) teaming and goal-setting, 2) collecting data, 3) conducting a
PTR Functional Behavioral Assessment, 4) developing a PTR behavior
intervention plan, and 5) monitoring progress and making data-based
decisions. Enhanced with new research on PTR and fresh content on timely
topics like multi-tiered systems of support, this guidebook will help
you resolve even the toughest behavior challenges--and improve social
and academic outcomes for your whole class.
