BOSS Classroom Management And Community-Based Applications: A Guide for Teachers and Helping Professionals, 2nd Edition: By Peter Ross, Ph.D. and Mick Needham, Ed.D.

By Peter Ross Ph.D. and Mick Needham Ed.D.

The incidence of classroom management and discipline problems continues to rise yet most teachers and helping professionals do not embrace evidence-based interventions for effective behavior management. This book now in its second edition, presents and discusses effective management and discipline procedures. It describes the BOSS behavior intervention which is a proactive, step-by-step procedure for ensuring effective classroom management, motivation, and positive behavior support. These points are especially relevant considering PBIS and its emphasis on positive intervention methods for students. The contents of this book also discuss related developmental factors, deviant and disruptive childhood disorders, and bullying. Several teacher and professional support staff reflections are provided to illustrate the positive effects of the BOSS intervention. These authentic reflections help teachers, parents, and support staff gain confidence in adopting new practices for the proper and effective treatment of students in the classroom, children in their care, and adults living in the community. New to this second edition is a discussion of PBIS. It also discusses the importance of progress monitoring when implementing behavioral interventions and provides an example of a behavior tracking form. Finally, the second edition has undergone revisions for improved readability and includes updated references.
