Solve serious behavior challenges in K–8 classrooms with the updated second edition of this bestselling book, your practical, user-friendly guide to the Prevent-Teach-Reinforce (PTR) model. Developed by highly respected experts on positive behavior support, this research-proven model gives your school team a step-by-step blueprint for reducing problems unresolved by typical behavior management strategies. You'll get explicit guidance and strategies for implementing all five steps of PTR: 1) teaming and goal-setting, 2) collecting data, 3) conducting a PTR Functional Behavioral Assessment, 4) developing a PTR behavior intervention plan, and 5) monitoring progress and making data-based decisions. Enhanced with new research on PTR and fresh content on timely topics like multi-tiered systems of support, this guidebook will help you resolve even the toughest behavior challenges—and improve social and academic outcomes for your whole class.

James Cox, Midwest Book Review

“…A practical, user-friendly guide to the Prevent-Teach-Reinforce (PTR) model. Developed by highly respected experts on positive behavior support, this research-proven model gives school teams a step-by-step blueprint for reducing problems unresolved by typical behavior management strategies. Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, ‘Prevent-Teach-Reinforce’ is unreservedly recommended for school district, college, and university library Teacher Education and Education Administration collections and supplemental studies reading lists.”

Lise Fox, Professor and Co-Director at Florida Center for Inclusive Communities, University of South Florida

“PTR provides the guide for developing individualized interventions for students with challenging behavior that are effective and feasible for implementation in the classroom. There is no other resource that provides the team with the practical step-by-step process they need to develop and implement behavior intervention plans that work for students and teachers.”

Ilene Schwartz, Professor of Special Education, Director of Haring Center for Inclusive Education at University of Washington

“Dunlap and his colleagues have done it again. The PTR model distills the practices of ABA and the philosophy of positive behavior support into an effective set of strategies that can be implemented by school teams. This evidence-based approach to SWPBIS provides school teams with the information that they need to create school communities that meet the needs of all students. I recommend this book to educators interested in building inclusive and supportive school communities.”
