School Discipline, Classroom Management, and Student Self-Management: A PBS Implementation Guide

An integrated, comprehensive approach to positive behavioral supports and interventions

This book provides a pragmatic, easy-to-follow blueprint for Positive Behavior Support Systems (PBSS) implementation that integrates academics, instruction, and achievement with discipline, behavior management, and student self-management. Award-winning author Howard M. Knoff provides guidance on:

• Implementing a schoolwide discipline and safe schools program
• Teaching students interpersonal, social problem solving, conflict prevention and resolution, and emotional coping skills
• Guiding professional development, staff and student buy-in, and evaluation
• Strengthening parent and community outreach and involvement

Included are charts to post in classrooms, worksheets, and action items. Research-based case studies demonstrate how PBSS activities create positive climates, pro-social interactions, and effective management approaches.
