Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Supports in Schools - Allison L. Bruhn - Bog

"Meeting a critical need, this accessible guide addresses the "whats," "whys," and "how-tos" of developing and implementing effective Tier 2 social, emotional, and behavioral supports. The book provides explicit steps for identifying K-12 students who could benefit from Tier 2, matching evidence-based interventions to student needs, and making individualized, data-based decisions regarding adapting, fading, or intensifying supports. Chapters review exemplary interventions in the areas of conduct, self-regulation, social issues, emotional issues, and co-occurring academic and social-emotional-behavioral needs. The place of Tier 2 in schoolwide positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) is explained, and keys to implementation fidelity are highlighted.
