Title overview

For courses in behaviour management / behaviour analysis.

The latest research and practice from the field of positive behaviour interventions and supports. Positive Behavioral Supports for the Classroom, 4th Edition covers foundational principles and practices from applied behaviour analysis. The text's emphasis is on a multi-tiered system of support for developing positive behaviours in children and youth, preventing challenging behaviours, and managing challenging behaviours efficiently and effectively school-wide, in classrooms, and for individual students. A wide variety of concepts and techniques are examined, ranging from the most basic through advanced, and the authors' relaxed, user-friendly writing style makes the book appropriate for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as new and beginning special education and regular classroom teachers.
