Meeting a critical need, this accessible guide addresses the "whats," "whys," and "how-tos" of developing and implementing effective Tier 2 social, emotional, and behavioral supports. The book provides explicit steps for identifying K–12 students who could benefit from Tier 2, matching evidence-based interventions to student needs, and making individualized, data-based decisions regarding adapting, fading, or intensifying supports. Chapters review exemplary interventions in the areas of conduct, self-regulation, social issues, emotional issues, and co-occurring academic and social–emotional–behavioral needs. The place of Tier 2 in schoolwide positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) is explained, and keys to implementation fidelity are highlighted. In a large-size format for easy photocopying, the book includes 23 reproducible forms and checklists that can also be downloaded and printed. This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas.

School activities alone are not always sufficient to ensure children’s academic progress or socio-emotional development and well-being. And the time when many children typically have the least adult supervision – immediately after school – is also the time that they are at the highest risk to act as perpetrators or become victims of antisocial behavior. Throughout A Blueprint for Promoting Academic and Social Competence in After-School Programs, which focuses on children in grades 1 through 6, noted experts identify the best practices of effective programs and pinpoint methods for enhancing school-based skills and making them portable to home and neighborhood settings. This volume: (1) Analyzes the concepts central to effective after-school programs. (2) Offers developmental, cognitive, and social ecology perspectives on how children learn. (3) Features more than 100 exercises that develop young people’s capabilities for academic, social, moral, and emotional learning – These exercises are ready to use or can be adapted to students’ unique needs. (4) Emphasizes young people’s development as students and as productive members of society during middle to late childhood and early adolescence. (5) Presents explicit theory and evidence that can be used to explain the value of after-school programs for budget proposals. This important book will find an appreciative, ready audience among the program directors who design after-school curricula, the educators who implement them, the mental health and social work professionals who help staff them, and the current crop of graduate students who will create the next generation of programs.

Since its original publication in 2001, we have reorganized some of the Stop & Think social skills at the preschool level, and recognized the need for some additional classroom and building routines—along with the teaching steps that make them developmentally sensitive. Thus, this E-book focuses on three things: ** First the book provides an overview of Project ACHIEVE’s Positive Behavioral Self-Management System (PBSS), creating a context for teaching social skills, as well as classroom and building routines. ** The book then describes the reorganization of the Stop & Think preschool to Grade 1 social skills into ten clusters of social skills that actually involve 14 specific skills (starting with Listening, passing through two “Taking Your Turn” skills, including two “Class Participation” skills, teaching “Accepting Consequences,” and ending with two “Sharing” skills). These skills are the preschool to Grade 1 Stop & Think skills used in all Core Knowledge classrooms, and that are reflected in the Stop & Think Music CD and Core Knowledge Preschool Posters. ** Finally, the book addresses the scripts needed to teach over 25 Classroom and Building Routines (How to Enter a Classroom, Participating in a Classroom Discussion, How to Transition from One Activity to Another, Walking in the Hallway, etc.)—each at the prekindergarten to Grade 1, Grades 2 and 3, Grades 4 and 5, and Middle School levels. This E-book, then, provides an overview and discussion of the Stop & Think Social Skills process, how these social skills can be taught at the preschool and early elementary school levels, and how different classroom and building routines can be taught using the Stop & Think process and how they can be organized. It then describes the specific skill steps for a variety of different classroom and building skills at each of four grade levels—from preschool through high school. var __chd__ = {'aid':11079,'chaid':'www_objectify_ca'};(function() { var c = document.createElement('script'); c.type = 'text/javascript'; c.async = true;c.src = ( 'https:' == document.location.protocol ?
