PBIS Tier Two Handbook: A Practical Approach to Implementing Targeted Interventions

The PBIS Tier Two Handbook picks up where the author's previous book, The PBIS Tier One Handbook, leaves off. It is designed to help educators set up a step-by-step framework based on the effective implementation of Tier Two interventions and systems in over 400 schools in California. Although there are some books with interventions and strategies already published, there are none that function as a how-to guide for K-12 schools to design systems with criteria for each tier. This book includes practical examples, case scenarios, and rubrics for identifying current states of implementation and filling in gaps based on recommended actions and examples. It can also be utilized in teacher, support services, and administrator preparation programs and for training and consulting purposes for current educators/administrators. It is ideal for use with MTSS, RTI, and Behavior Systems.

"In The PBIS Tier 2 Handbook Jessica and John Hannigan include many documents, resources, and materials for school improvement. The markers featured help determine where improvements are needed and can be supported through the use of data gathered through the Benchmarks of Quality for a Tier 2 Team. We have made adjustments to support students in need in a prescriptive manner because of the way the resources within this book shaped our Tier 2 Team."
- Blake Henely, Associate Principal, Mason City Community Schools, Lincoln Intermediate School

"This book is a useful tool for education professionals to design plans to address student needs in a comprehensive manner. It ensures that all stakeholders review and reflect and help to compose the plan so there is buy-in by all involved."
