Managing Challenging Behaviors in Schools: Research-Based Strategies That Work

Now in a fully revised second edition, this acclaimed, highly practical book reviews the breadth of proven strategies for preventing and responding to problem behavior in grades K-12 classrooms. Meeting the needs of real-world practitioners, the expert authors address all three tiers of intervention within a Comprehensive, Integrated, Three-Tiered (Ci3T) Models of Prevention. Educators are guided to implement effective instructional and classroom management practices to meet students' learning, behavioral, and social and emotional well-being needs (Tier 1).
