Recenzii
"This is a nice 'all in one' book that presents an evidence-based model for school discipline, behavior management and school safety together, with a link to a school improvement framework."
"The positive behavioral support approaches and the student and staff strategies described in this book significantly contributed to moving us from chaos to excellence. Our school was a racially diverse, inner-city school with virtually every student coming from a home of poverty. This program made every adult in the school a better educator and every student more skilled at self-management. This book offers school-friendly approaches and strategies that are doable and affordable, and that change the way administrators and staff look at students' and their own behavior."
"This book does an excellent job of systematically taking administrators and school staff though an array of strategies and steps to help them to effectively implement a school-wide, multi-tiered, Positive Behavioral Support System (PBSS). Guided by this book, administrators will have more time to help teachers to improve their teaching skills rather than their classroom management skills. Teachers will spend less time disciplining their students and more time engaging and teaching them. The result is increased academic achievement for the students, and a more positive, safe, and productive climate for schools."
"This book provides extensive and practical ways to implement school-wide approaches that result in positive and engaged classrooms, proactive and consistent staff, and safe and successful schools. Its focus on building and sustaining students’ interpersonal, social problem solving, conflict prevention and resolution, and emotional coping skills reminds us that 'discipline' problems often reflect students’ lack of self-management skills. A national expert and past president of NASP, Howard Knoff has written a practical guide that includes step-by-step checklists and procedures to help schools implement successful Positive Behavioral Support systems. This book will be relevant for many years to come."
"Dr. Howie Knoff blends his decades of academic and practical experience to offer teachers, administrators and school support professionals practical steps for improving student behavior in a manner that is research-based and building-level applicable. As student behavior challenges increasingly permeate all school grade levels while resources to prevent and intervene become more scare, Dr. Knoff's book can serve as a one-stop-shop reference which educators can use to put immediate measures to work for improving school climate, safety and educational achievement."
"Schools need successful practices that are comprehensive but easy to learn, implement, and measure. School Discipline, Classroom Management, and Student Self-Management by Dr. Howie Knoff accomplishes this in a thorough compendium full of actionable interventions, how-to guides, and tools/forms for progress monitoring and evaluation. It is a singular valuable resource – a must read for any staff member, building administrator, or school system intent on implementing best practice behavior supports."
"Grounded in research-based principles, proven and effective practices, and validation through implementation in schools across the country, Dr. Knoff has created a model blueprint for creating and maintaining a Positive Behavioral Support System (PBSS) that results in more effective schools, behaviorally, socially, and academically. As a former state director of special education who worked with Dr. Knoff to successfully establish and implement PBSS in public schools throughout our state, I witnessed firsthand the effectiveness of this PBSS model in producing desired outcomes. The proof is in the ‘doing,’ and Dr. Knoff’s Project ACHIEVE and PBSS model clearly accomplish that. We should do what works, and this works. Isn’t that what we all want?
"This book teaches the basics of implementing a schoolwide discipline and safe schools program and is based on Project Achieve, a national model of improvement."
