Description

Help students move from the "red zone" to the success zone!

How would you respond to a student who frequently has emotional meltdowns, hits other students, or uses unacceptable language? These and other extremely challenging behaviors are identified as tertiary level or "red zone" by the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) model. Laura A. Riffel describes in teacher-friendly terms how to use this model to create an intervention plan to modify disruptive behavior. Research-based and easy-to-use methods for general and special educators, administrators, and counselors include:

  • A data-driven approach to solving problems
  • Techniques and strategies for collecting and analyzing data
  • Methods for teaching replacement behavior
  • Examples that show how to modify consequences

Positive Behavior Support at the Tertiary Level helps teachers develop a better understanding of their impact on students' behavior and empowers them to make positive changes. Included are success stories, analysis forms, charts, and templates that show teachers how to "mine the data for gold," create crisis plans, and steer students toward positive behaviors.

Recent Product Reviews:

Provides excellent strategies for intervention specialist and general education teachers in my classroom management course to respond to disruptive behaviors.
Mrs Danielle Wall, Teacher Education, Urbana University
Another book provided me with the information I needed.
Professor Susan Johnson, Education Dept, Mercyhurst College
We are including it as recommended reading. We believe it will be very helpful to future teachers. It is not comprehensive enough for our primary test.
Dr Donna Bergman, Education Dept, Spring Arbor University
"Presents the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports model, showing teachers how to create an intervention plan to modify challenging behaviors, along with examples of how to modify consequences. A top pick for teachers working with diverse classrooms."
James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief, The Midwest Book Review, August 2011
"The true test of a teacher’s character is not about managing problem behavior today in our classroom but how we, as educators, move towards modifying and shaping behaviors for individuals to achieve a better future. Laura Riffel’s book provides us with the knowledge and insight to challenging behaviors and assists educators with a roadmap to success. A must read for all teachers!"
