A vital classroom management resource, this book shows how to implement positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) in K-12 classrooms, regardless of whether PBIS is adopted schoolwide. The primary focus is universal (Tier 1) support for all students. Practical, step-by-step guidelines are provided for structuring the classroom environment, actively engaging students in instruction, teaching positive expectations, and establishing a continuum of strategies to reinforce positive behavior and respond to inappropriate behavior. Numerous real-world examples and learning exercises are included. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes reproducible tools for classwide PBIS planning and implementation, which can be downloaded and printed for repeated use. See also the authors' related guide for teacher trainers and coaches: Implementing Classwide PBIS: A Guide to Supporting Teachers. This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas.
