For courses in Behavior Management and Classroom Management. This practical and proven text provides a unique in-depth look at specific behaviors and the strategies employed for addressing each behavior in K-12 classrooms and schools. Readers can expect to get solid coverage of key topics, practical understanding of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and a more detailed look at functional behavioral assessment (FBA) than found in other texts. Additional research-based practices are featured, giving a special balanced approach to behavior management that is also respectful of various fields (e.g., psychiatry, psychology) helping students grasp how these methodologies contribute to behavior and classroom management in a larger context. The sixth edition addresses school-based interventions in view of positive behavioral support, a view embraced by practitioners and supported by research; continues to promote collaboration between other agencies and families and better coordination of treatment options to create effective services and intervention in education. New features and content revised and added to this edition include: chapters on specific behavioral problems including disruptive, aggressive, and stereotypic; in-depth coverage of positive behavioral support (PBS) including the standards of practice for PBS based on The Association for Positive Behavior Support's guidelines, and the relationship of response-to-intervention (RtI) and PBS; expanded coverage of evidence-based practices; new individual chapters on School-wide and Classroom-wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports; new case studies that address assessment and planning; and a new comprehensive glossary of key, technical terms. Intended for graduate or undergraduate courses for general education and special education classroom teachers, administrators, or behavior specialists, this widely-used text is clearly written and organized in such a way that classroom teachers or school support professionals can use it in their every day practice.
