I’ll be damned if I don’t list the books I read for class. This one got short chapters for a textbook, good looks Matty Baby. It’s a good academic text with plenty of interactive activities inside for the nerds.

I received this book for free from Goodreads First Reads Program. I think this is a very informative book about different management techiniques you can use in your classroom. It goes into particular detail about techniques for students with IEPs and challenging behavior problems. I liked the layout of the book and enjoyed all the diagrams and examples it gave.

I won this book and am really grateful that I did. I am not a teacher but I am a behavior specialist and there is a lot of good information regarding writing behavior plans.
