This book addresses the critical need for highly qualified personnel to work with students that have varying support needs, and provides a framework for analyzing these needs. The exploration of Positive Behavior Supports in this text will serve as a guide to help prepare teachers, teachers in training, and other service providers to adequately support and teach all students. The author writes in a non-technical style and provides case study examples and guides for assisting readers in analyzing and understanding the appropriate supports and interventions in Positive Behavior Supports. These case studies analyze real life situations that will assist teachers and service providers. The twelve case studies presented in this book contains four cases that offers a complete analysis, and eight cases containing a description of the case with partial analysis components that readers can use for their own education, including courses and/or training purposes. The applicability of the case studies to applied settings and the ability to use the case studies as assignments and/or exams will be beneficial to all teachers and college instructors. General references related to Positive Behavior Supports are provided, including organizations and resources. Empirical research to support that the interventions used in the case studies are evidence-based practices is depicted. Readers will appreciate the provision of a system for teachers, teachers in training, school psychologists, behavior specialists, classroom assistants and others, to analyze inclusion and to understand how supports and instruction can be used to best educate students with disabilities.

This unique book is a valuable tool for all student affairs educators. The text opens with an exploration of the history of assessment in higher education, in general, and then student affairs more specifically. Having established a historical perspective, the reader then delves into chapters that align with the Assessment, Evaluation, and Research (AER) competency and accompanying rubric. It provides the reader with a unique approach to learning and understanding AER. It is designed in a format that describes/defines this competency at the foundational, intermediate, and advanced outcome levels; suggests ways to apply this competency in practice through case studies from student affairs; and provides tools for the assessment of competency understanding. All chapters include relevant terminology necessary for understanding, the competency applied to a case study, and an opportunity for self-assessment. While the book is designed for those who are preparing to become student affairs educators and for those who are new to this discipline, it is certainly filled with information and resources for entry-level, mid-level, and senior-level professionals. The text is not only a blueprint but also a global positioning system on assessment, evaluation, and research in student affairs to guide the reader in the process of helping and educating students. The book bridges the gap between who one is today and who one wants to become as a future student affairs educator. As a guidebook, it is a unique and valuable source to aid the student in developing real professional competency.

"Covering transition policies and practices, Transition Planning for Secondary Students with Disabilities, 4th edition, emphasizes how to let student goals and future environments guide transition planning and programming. The text tackles a range of transition topics from legislative policies to specific transition activities. A strong theme emphasizes four essential elements of transition and connects content across chapters and topics. Unlike other books, this one offers a unique backward planning process that focuses on a student's self-determined goals and post-school environments as a basis for current transition planning."-- Back cover.
