finish, this book contains the type of information that is absolutely critical to successfully intervening with students challenging behaviors. Mismanaged students behavior is a teachers Achilles heel, leading to burnout and a premature exodus from the profession. This book is more than a checklist menu of steps for creating a BIP. This book is full of gems, insights, and spot-on irreverent details—the underbelly of every school. Johnsons interesting and creative, quirky storytelling drew me in and I absolutely could not put the book down. This book is one of a kind and I highly recommend it to every professional who develops behavior intervention plans. I plan on using this book as required reading for my school-based consultation class." - Melissa A.
