Synopsis

Presenting a unique team-based problem-solving model, this book shows how to turn K-8 school change from a daunting prospect into an achievable goal supported by a concrete plan. A framework is provided for addressing any schoolwide academic or behavior issue, from reading or math problems to concerns about school safety or tardiness. Four clear-cut steps are described: problem identification, problem analysis, plan development, and plan implementation/evaluation. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes procedures for navigating each step, extended case examples, frequently asked questions, and 13 reproducible forms. Purchasers get access to a companion website where they can download and print the reproducible materials, as well as online-only practice exercises with answers.

This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas.
