This market-leading book helps students understand and use behavior management concepts in the classroom. The sequence of chapters follows that of an actual behavior analysis; actual data recording sheets, charts, and tables are provided. The text covers identifying target behavior, collecting data, experimental design, arranging antecedents and consequences, and generalizing behavior change. Users love the book's sense of humor and appreciate the talent the authors have for describing complicated information in a clear and appealing manner.

    For courses in Applied Behavior Analysis, Behavior Management and Behavior Modification.

     

    Scholarly and empirically based, this market-leading text gives students what they need to understand using the principles and practices of applied behavioral management in the classroom. The content is presented clearly, in a friendly, accessible–even fun–manner. This edition has been shortened and streamlined and chapters flow step-by-step through an actual behavior analysis, using classroom-based examples and practices firmly grounded in research. Content is presented in the order of decision-making by: 1) a teacher who has a student exhibiting challenging behavior in class; or, 2) a student who needs to execute a behavior-change project. The text covers: identifying target behavior, collecting and graphing data, functional assessment, experimental design, arranging antecedents and consequences, generalizing behavior change and discusses the importance of ethical considerations in using applied behavior analysis in the classroom.


    The seventh edition is improved with the addition of more multicultural considerations, a stronger emphasis on technology, a discussion on the Board Certified Behavior Analysis (BCBA), more enhanced pedagogy, and a robust Companion Website.

    Brief Description

    • For courses in Applied Behavior Analysis, Behavior Management and Behavior Modification.

     

    Scholarly and empirically based, this market-leading text gives students what they need to understand using the principles and practices of applied behavioral management in the classroom. The content is presented clearly, in a friendly, accessible–even fun–manner. The eighth edition uses classroom-based examples and practices firmly grounded in research. Content is presented in the order of decision-making by a teacher who has a student exhibiting challenging behavior in class or a student who needs to execute a behavior-change project. The text covers identifying target behavior, collecting and graphing data, functional assessment, experimental design, arranging antecedents and consequences, generalizing behavior change and discusses the importance of ethical considerations in using applied behavior analysis in the classroom. The eighth edition has been thoroughly updated and revised. Included in the revision is a rewritten and expanded chapter on functional assessment and functional analysis; new Behavior Support Plans; updated examples that address the contemporary interests of children and young adults; classroom “snapshots” that show teachers using applied behavior analysis techniques in different settings; and an enhanced supplemental support package for instructors who adopt the text.
