This book is a how-to manual for school mental health professionals, educators, and administrators that discusses a series of steps that can be used to proactively manage and prevent many different types of behavioral problems in a positive manner. It incorporates both the high structure and high behavioral expectations that are crucial for school success, but also describes following this structure in such a way that students feel included, important, and respected. Rather than requiring the mental health providers to investigate the research themselves and come up with a behavioral problem solving model, this book includes step-by-step guides on how to implement school-wide and classroom-wide interventions in a response-to-intervention format. For those students who demonstrate more behavior problems, more intensive interventions are included to help alleviate those problems.

The first section of the book discusses Tier I interventions and assessments designed to ensure that the school is effectively implementing a high quality, research-based behavioral management system. The next section covers Tier II interventions, those used for students who do not respond adequately to those of Tier I. These interventions are research-based, rigorous, and designed to address a broad range of behavior problems. Finally, the last section discusses Tier III interventions for students in need of highly individualized and intensive interventions to manage behavior problems.

Industry Reviews

"In this book, Hulac and colleagues offer a concise and user-friendly review of positive behavioral supports that can be easily implemented within every classroom. We believe their well defined procedures for the execution of intervention and their ready-to-use forms will be an invaluable resource for school-based practitioners, teachers, and administrators." - From the foreword by Rosemary B. Mennuti, and Ray W. Christner "This work is going to find a home on every practitioner's desk!not the bookshelf, but the desk. Each chapter contains clearly described, practical procedures that inform the practitioner. Pages will be well-worn by anyone seeking to get better results in schools.a This is a very practical resource." - W. Alan Coulter, LSU Health Sciences Center, Louisiana, USA
