Positive Behavioral Supports for the Classroom, 3rd edition

Invigorate learning with the Enhanced Pearson eText
The Enhanced Pearson eText provides a rich, interactive learning environment designed to improve student mastery of content with the following multimedia features:

• Embedded videos. Students see the concepts and ideas in action. Links to YouTube and other videos show the concepts and techniques in the chapter, or expanded explanations of those concepts and techniques. The videos are carefully selected to illustrate important points from the chapter. (See pages 15, 51, and 301 for examples.)
• Toolbox pop-up features help readers implement the techniques correctly. (See pages 21, 154, and 216 for examples.)
• Understand how to apply the techniques with a more concrete model. Demonstration pop-up features provide examples and illustrations of the techniques. (See pages 67, 148, and 229 for examples.)
• Use Vanderbilt University’s IRIS Center as a resource. Online, multimedia learning modules available through the IRIS Center cover topics presented in the text. The modules provide excellent opportunities for using learning activities described in the text’s chapters. (See pages 8, 121, and 174 for examples.)

Additional text features include:

• Specific, how-to instructions for implementing techniques described in the text.
• Get a firm grasp on the foundational concepts and research supporting the strategies described through the book’s emphasis on the research-to-practice process.
• Ensure understanding of the big picture of each chapter.  
• Chapter Objectives, Big Ideas sections, and end-of-chapter summaries guide students in understanding the main ideas of each chapter.
• Self assessments help students assess the knowledge gained from the chapter—and help in-service educators self assess the extent to which they apply the techniques presented in the chapter and apply those techniques correctly. Each chapter includes a 10-point self-assessment, which can be downloaded and printed. Readers respond on a five-point scale to each question.
• See the concepts and techniques in action—and apply them in real life.
• “Dr. ICE” vignettes illustrate fictional accounts of real situations students are likely to encounter in practice.
• Numerous examples drawn from real life experiences of the authors' over 60 combined years teaching and training teachers provide a look at a variety of situations in many areas of all grade levels.
• Demonstrations and forms provide concrete models of the concepts and techniques explained in the text. (For example, see Demonstration 4-2 in Chapter 4, a “Talk-Movement Chart” teachers can use to signal to students when talking and movement are allowed in the classroom.)
• Individual and group Learning Activities help students apply what they have learned into replicas of actual school situations, allowing practice in planning for application across a wide variety of contexts and student characteristics.

Key content changes include:

• NEW! Get the latest in research and policies related to school-wide discipline and safety, and theory and research related to individual assessment and intervention methods.
• NEW! Reorganized content is designed to more closely reflect practices that align with a three-tiered approach to providing behavioral supports, ranging from school-wide techniques to individual student behavioral assessment and intervention strategies.
• NEW! User-friendly features include links to videos and online multimedia content modules, plus many more practical, downloadable tools, including forms, self-assessments, step-by-step instructions for the techniques presented in the text, and other materials that help educations and others apply the concepts to their own teaching or support positions.
• NEW! An integrated focus shows how the concepts and techniques presented in the text apply to students with autism spectrum disorders and other mental health disorders. For example, Chapter 4 describes the basic classroom management technique of establishing and teaching rules and procedures and includes multiple examples of how to adapt rules instruction and use other accommodations to help students with severe disabilities, including autism, understand and remember to follow class rules.
