Substantial Content Revisions

The focus of this book is preventing behavior problems through the use of research-based approaches that address important issues, promote positive learning environments, and respond to all children’s needs. The methods described include schoolwide programming, classroom-based strategies, individualized behavior plans, and communication with families and the community. All chapters are designed to help professionals address problems proactively and share the responsibility for providing the best possible learning opportunities for all students, especially for those students with emotional and behavioral problems. Like the first edition, the book is a collaborative work reflecting varied knowledge, expertise, and perspectives.

The second edition has been reorganized and restructured to include new chapters and eliminate old ones. The authors address current topics such as culturally diverse learners, RTI, and IDEIA. In addition, they discuss new research findings relevant to the topics covered throughout the book. Boxed vignettes titled an “An Illustration from Practice”, included at the end of many chapters, demonstrate how the strategies have been implemented effectively in various situations.

New material expands the coverage of circumstances influencing behavior and the sphere of issues addressed. For example, the authors added strategies for promoting positive behavior as early as preschool, and addressed approaches for working with culturally and linguistically diverse students. The authors also added a concluding chapter summarizing the material and highlighting the connection between behavior and achievement.
