The PBIS Team Handbook: Setting Expectations and Building Positive Behavior

by Beth Baker, Charlotte A. Ryan (Contributor)

A revised and updated edition of the best-selling guide for schools implementing PBIS Tier 1

PBIS (positive behavior interventions and supports) is the most important tool educators have to deal with disruptive student behaviors. This revised and updated handbook provides detailed guidelines for implementing and sustaining PBIS for schools and teams. New in this edition is a chapter addressing inequity and bias in behavior referrals and discipline; a tiered fidelity inventory (TFI) to evaluate adherence to PBIS practices; different methods of data collection; and new research on sustainability. Positive school climates are not achieved through expulsions, suspensions, or detentions, but instead through collective analysis and data-driven decision-making. Downloadable digital content offers a PDF presentation to aid staff buy-in and customizable forms to help manage data and assess progress with ease.

This book was very helpful in understanding PBIS and how to successfully plan an effective PBIS framework in my school. It also helped me think about which goals I want to focus on for my 2nd year as PBIS Administrator.

I recommend this book for those who already have PBIS in their school and need a refresher/guidance. This book is definitely for those who are considering implementing PBIS in their school.

What a terrific resource! I've been involved in PBIS for the last decade in two different schools and now I have stepped up to the role of PBIS coach and this books helped me realize that I didn't have a strong understanding of what PBIS was and what it wasn't. I know have a clearer picture of the direction I need to lead my school in!
