Description
Providing a time- and cost-effective framework for responding to moderate problem behavior and preventing the development of more serious difficulties, this book addresses a core need of elementary and middle school practitioners and educators in the US. The Behavior Education Program is designed to help those students who fail to meet school-wide disciplinary expectations but do not require the highest level of behavior support. No lengthy assessment process is required and groups of up to thirty students can participate, with minimal time and training demands on teachers and staff. Clear guidelines are delineated for conducting this proactive, research-based intervention that incorporates daily behavioral feedback and positive adult attention.
