The Paraprofessionals Guide to Effective Behavioral Intervention

The Paraprofessionals Guide to Effective Behavioral Intervention is a comprehensive guide to appropriate behavioral strategies in the classroom, based on the Least Restrictive Behavioral Intervention (LRBI) and Positive Behavioral Intervention Strategies (PBIS). This highly practical book provides:

• an increased understanding of the processes underlying student behavior in the classroom, including motivation
• a wide range of strategies for establishing and promoting positive behavior, as well as counteracting and reducing negative behaviors
• skills related to nationally recognized standards for paraprofessional competence
• an understanding of widely accepted principles and practices such as Response to Intervention (RTI).

Set in the context of the legal requirements for paraprofessionals to work "under the direction of a professional" (ESEA) and be "appropriately supervised" (IDEA), The Paraprofessionals Guide to Effective Behavioral Intervention illuminates research-based, practical strategies shown to be effective in a wide range of educational settings and which can be implemented immediately and with confidence.
