The Paraprofessional's 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),
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.
