How would you respond to a student who has tantrums or hits other students? These and other extremely challenging behaviors are identified as tertiary level or "red zone" by the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) model. Laura A. Riffel describes in teacher-friendly terms how to use this model to create an intervention plan to modify behavior that disrupts learning. Research-based tools for general and special educators, administrators, and counselors include: a data-driven approach to solving problems, techniques and strategies for collecting and analyzing data, methods for teaching replacement behavior and examples that show how to modify consequences.
