Behavior Solutions: Teaching Academic and Social Skills Through RTI at Work

by John Hannigan, Jessica Djabrayan Hannigan, Mike Mattos

The foundational guide to schoolwide behavior support. Written by John Hannigan, Jessica Djabrayan Hannigan, Mike Mattos, and Austin Buffum, this book shows how to use the PLC at Work® and RTI at Work processes to build a three-tiered system of behavior supports that is collaborative, research-based, and practical. A tiered system built on prevention, intervention, and daily remediation. Walks schoolwide teams through implementing Behavior Solutions at Tier 1 (prevention), Tier 2 (intervention), and Tier 3 (daily remediation), so every student gets the right level of behavioral support at the right time. Works alongside whatever your school already uses. This process can be applied universally across any research-based behavior initiative a school already implements, including PBIS, restorative practices, SEL, trauma-informed care, or MTSS, so schools build on what's already working instead of starting over. Assess your current reality before you act. Includes tools to help school and district teams honestly assess their current systemic behavior gap, understand the student behaviors, emotions, and mental states that challenge educational initiatives, and build a plan grounded in that reality. From Solution Tree, the foundational Behavior Solutions resource. Pairs naturally with Behavior Academies and The Big Book of Tools for RTI at Work™ for schools building a complete, systemwide approach to behavior and academics.

[Lucinda’s Library · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was given the opportunity to read this book by the high school I work for.

At first I was feeling frustrated and confused with the methods being taught but as I moved further into the book, I began to understand more and how to apply this in the real world for the students I work with.

It has been great to start the school year and see the work my principal has put in to build these teams and apply these methods.
