I love the accessibility of this book and the straightforward guidance it provides… It is evident how much care the authors have given to the unique challenges facing our students and educational systems today. This hopeful book allows us to see Tier 2 supports as uplifting and preventive—the way they are meant to be.” — Rhonda N. T. Nese, PhD, Department of Special Education and Clinical Sciences, University of Oregon Quote 2: “This book is a practical gem for educators, administrators, and school support staff… The book is a must‑have resource for anyone dedicated to enhancing the learning environment and fostering students' emotional growth.” — Tina M. Lawson, EdD, BCBA, educational consultant, Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network A body paragraph follows: “Meeting a critical need, this accessible guide addresses the ‘whats,’ ‘whys,’ and ‘how‑tos’ of developing and implementing effective Tier 2 social, emotional, and behavioral supports. The book provides explicit steps for identifying K–12 students who could benefit from Tier 2, matching evidence‑based interventions to student needs, and making individualized, data‑based decisions regarding their success and intensifying supports. Chapters describe interventions and data tools for academic concerns, internalizing social issues, emotional issues, externalizing concerns, and social-emotional-behavioral needs. Use of Tier 2 in schoolwide positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) frameworks is emphasized. The included reproducible forms are in a large‑size format; the easy‑to‑download online materials include 24 reproducible forms and checklists that can also be downloaded as fillable PDFs.” At the bottom, text reads: “Find full information about this title online: www.guilford.com/mcdaniel”
