• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

As schools attempt to provide more effective and efficient discipline practices there are many systems changes that need to be employed. Positive behavior support (PBS) has proved to be an effective systems approach to positive discipline that is implemented widely in the United States. This book is about how to evaluate professional development in PBS schools and provide practical data with an empirically validated self-assessment of teacher knowledge and skills for positive behavior support. This important addition to the literature on positive behavior support is a useful resource for educators and researchers that need an effective and efficient method of measuring the knowledge and skills of the educators in a school. The Teacher Knowledge and Skills Survey for PBS is an essential tool to guide professional development and program change. No school or researcher who is working to improve discipline practices should be without this book.
