If poor behaviour management systems are hindering your teachers from providing quality instruction, this resource will be a game changer.
Learn how to build a schoolwide program for implementing proven, research-based classroom management practices through coaching—and seeing that plan through to success.
This book reflects the MTSS (multi-tiered system of support) framework, which helps educators provide academic and behavioural support for all students. MTSS models refer to levels of support in three tiers:
What we know about effective support for students in all tiers is translated into a guide for supporting teachers. By creating tiers for educators, just as we do for students, we can adapt and modify professional development and coaching systems to meet both the collective and individual needs of all teachers.
MTSS is a system of support that fosters growth both for teachers who show a skill deficit and for teachers who are highly skilled and want to further hone their abilities. The intent for both groups is to increase the likelihood of teacher retention, which in turn increases the skill level of all educators.
This book is suitable for anyone charged with helping teachers in grades K-12—including principals, assistant principals, school psychologists, counsellors, mentor teachers, behaviour management coaches, and instructional coaches.
This comprehensive 368 page book also provides 74 pages of reproducible forms. Previously versions published as Coaching Classroom Management.
