Full Description
Harness the proactive power of PBIS to improve student behavior
More punishment won't improve student behavior. Now, there's a better way: The Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Champion Model. Through this breakthrough alternative, schools have reduced disciplinary incidences by 50% or more by implementing proactive, school-wide prevention practices.
This research-based, action-oriented framework written by leading experts in PBIS implementation, will show you how to create a school culture where all students achieve both social and academic success. You'll find:
A convincing case for why teaching appropriate behavior, rather than punishing inappropriate behavior, is more effective for creating an environment conducive to learning
A step-by-step framework for implementing a comprehensive systems approach, with specific actions to develop, monitor, and sustain each level of the system
Success stories from teachers and administrators who have implemented the PBIS Champion Model
Self-assessment exercises to ensure PBIS implementation starts on the right track and stays there
Through this approach, you'll have the tools to create a school environment that accelerates learning and has a positive impact on the emotional, social, academic, and physical well-being of every child.
"This concisely-crafted book provides schools a systematic and doable framework for a comprehensive approach to building school climate, recognizing positive and appropriate behavior, and reducing detrimental school issues."

"Finally, we have a book that will impress readers who need to understand PBIS and become a resource on how to implement it successfully."
