“"We useResponding to Problem Behavior in Schoolswith each school we train in Tier”

"We use Responding to Problem Behavior in Schools with each school we train in Tier 2 school-wide positive behavior support. This wonderful resource describes processes that are highly practical and effective in an array of school environments with a wide range of students. While I loved the first edition, the second edition is even better. I am very impressed with the greater depth of coverage of such critical systems issues as getting commitment; identifying roles, responsibilities, and training needs; and fitting the BEP to your school. Information about adapting the process to preschools and high schools makes this edition even more useful. The section on measuring response to the BEP intervention will be a valuable resource for enhancing intervention fidelity." - Don Kincaid, College of Behavioral and Community Sciences, University of South Florida, USA "The Behavior Education Program (BEP) is a highly effective intervention program that helps students develop positive connections and social and self-management skills. BEP enables schools to align and build on existing behavioral resources and staff - important in the challenging budget climate - and truly can help build capacity for successful positive behavior supports. The second edition has some great improvements, including many additional tools to help with program implementation and evaluation. I believe in this program, and schools like it, too." - Paula Freer, President, Student Support Team Association for Georgia Educators, USA "This second edition meets a very important need in providing practitioners with systematic, comprehensive, and detailed procedures for addressing the challenges of students who display recurring problem behavior. A crucial value of the book lies in its focus on proactive, supportive practices that are evidence based and relatively friendly to implement. The book is replete with examples, illustrations, forms, and data management guidelines to ensure ease of implementation and maintenance. This book will make a significant contribution in helping practitioners to more effectively meet the varied needs and challenges of today's students." - Geoff Colvin, educational consultant, Behavior Associates, Eugene, Oregon, USA "School professionals will want to ensure that each school has at least one copy of Responding to Problem Behavior in Schools, Second Edition, and university instructors can use this book as part of a comprehensive approach to teaching students how to create a program to improve student behavior. We are in the process of redesigning our Functional Behavioral Assessment graduate course to incorporate this book in conjunction with Steege and Watson's Conducting School-Based Functional Behavioral Assessments, Second Edition. Our learners will use these texts and supplemental case studies to find solutions to problem behaviors in K-12 students." - Alan W. Brue, PhD, NCSP, Harold Abel School of Social and Behavioral Sciences, Capella University, USA
