Pyramid of Behavior Interventions: 7 Keys to a Positive Learning Environment Chris Weber 1. izdevums

In Pyramid of Behavior Interventions, the authors ask educators to commit to proactively meeting the behavioral as well as academic needs of their students. Research on student behavior, response to intervention, and professional learning communities inform the practical strategies teachers and school leaders can use to create superior school and classroom climates and cultures in which learning is primed to occur.

To avoid frustration, confusion, and perhaps failure, students need clearly articulated routines, structures, and expectations for their learning environment. The authors use a three-tiered pyramid of behavior model as the basis for their continuum of effective schoolwide behavior support. They outline seven keys to a positive learning environment, structures and strategies for schoolwide positive discipline, and provide assistance to school teams to create and maintain core vision and values. The book also includes tools to help develop data-driven dialogue with a focus on results and systems for providing pyramids of intervention to support behavior.
