Developing Schoolwide Programs to Prevent and Manage Problem Behaviors: A Step-by-Step Approach
Kathleen Lynne Lane, Jemma Roberston Kalberg and Holly Mariah Menzies
"The approach Lane details is sensitive to the fact that each school is unique. Rather than offering a canned curriculum, the book helps schools explore a variety of options to craft a plan that addresses their particular needs. Also, rather than just focusing on behavior in isolation, the book provides a guide for developing a comprehensive primary prevention
program that addresses academic, behavior, and social
domains."
- SPED e-newsletter (Camilla Meek, April 2009)
Packed with hands-on tools and grounded in the latest research, this important resource provides guidelines for designing, implementing, and evaluating a schoolwide primary prevention program. The authors' team-based, school-tested approach includes behavioral, academic, and social components that can be tailored to address any school's needs. Each chapter presents real-world examples alongside essential information about how to prevent the development of antisocial behavior in grades K-12.
Special features include sample forms and checklists for use in planning, staff training, screening and assessment, positive behavior support, and progress monitoring. The book also offers general guidelines for identifying and supporting students who require more intensive intervention.
