Synopsis:

With new information on the importance of social and emotional learning in the classroom and using multi-tiered support systems to address disruptive behavior, this manual is now an even more valuable tool in helping you improve and enhance your school's social and learning climate and build a true school "community." The authors describe the Boys Town Education Model, a school-based intervention strategy that emphasizes behavior-management practices, relationship-building techniques, and social skills instruction. They also provide step-by-step instructions and examples for proven teaching interactions that encourage positive behavior, reduce or prevent inappropriate behaviors, and correct misbehaviors.
