Amber L. Evenson, MS, EdS, school psychologist, Proviso Area for Exceptional Children Special Education Cooperative, Maywood, Illinois "Bear offers an invaluable practical synthesis of evidence-based methods and approaches for schools to develop balanced and effective disciplinary programs, based on locally determined need. He does a superb job of fostering thoughtful and informed consideration of key issues, effectively translating research to practice. This is a great resource for school practitioners, administrators, and teachers, as well as those in preservice training. I recommend it as a supplemental text for graduate-level courses."
Matthew J. Mayer, PhD, Department of Educational Psychology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey - A timely response to the current conversation schools are having as they explore how school discipline should look and search for the most effective strategies to address student behavior....This book offers a comprehensive framework for incorporating school-wide positive behavioral supports and social and emotional learning and provides numerous research-based strategies for implementation that are practical and applicable at all age levels. Individual interventions are suggested, as well as the process for implementing systemic change, which makes this book helpful for schools regardless of where they are in the process of addressing student behavior. School social workers, as well as teachers and administrators will find this book extremely useful to assist in the development of SWPBS and incorporation of SEL standards into curriculums.
