With student behavioral problems and teacher turnover at all-time highs, educators need behavioral interventions that work. With its practical behavior intervention method, this book replaces problematic behaviors with essential life skills for school and beyond. Educators can implement effective targeted interventions in twenty-five minutes or less using eight predefined behavior academies and a process to create their own.

• Address their own beliefs about students' challenging behavior
• Learn the eight behavior academies and their corresponding life skills
• Identify the core components of an academy's initial, ongoing, and exit sessions
• Build their own behavior academy with a clearly outlined process
• Use behavior rehearsal cards for an academy's ongoing sessions

Shift from traditional to alternative discipline that really works

With ever-changing discipline laws and regulations coupled with a return to in-person learning, the second edition of Don't Suspend Me! arrives at the perfect time to guide educators in everything they need to know to avoid reverting to traditional, exclusionary discipline practices.

This user-friendly guidebook helps teachers and administrators use alternative discipline methods to create positive, meaningful, and long-term behavior shifts for students. Inside you'll find:

• An updated alternative discipline toolkit with additional easy-to-use tools, templates, and processes

Organized to help educators implement alternative discipline, this updated edition frames discipline in a practical and effective way that aligns with research, changes in educational law, and above all else, equity in school discipline.
