I have been an educator for many years, and although I now teach adult education, I taught in the public schools in past years too. While teaching students with learning disabilities and behavioral challenges, this student-centered book, with its focus on effective data collection & analysis, positive reinforcement behaviors and practicing my "happy face", would have helped me tremendously back in those days.

Dr. Sage writes a readable and practical book that provides easy-to-use tools to ultimately prepare Behavioral Intervention Plans for student success. While it focuses on elementary age students, the basic premises also apply to middle school, high school and even adult students. I highly recommend this resource to all educators seeking solutions to help reluctant learners become happy students.
