"Students' behavioral problems are on the rise, leaving teachers frustrated and burnt out-and even causing them to abandon education altogether. While plenty of behavioral interventions are currently employed in schools, few clearly state their purpose or equip teachers to execute their own targeted behavioral interventions. In Behavior Academies: Targeted Interventions That Work, John Hannigan and Jessica Djabrayan Hannigan introduce their eight behavior academies that aim to replace problematic behaviors with those that strengthen essential life skills. With reflection prompts, behavior rehearsal cards, a step-by-step process for creating your own behavior academy, and other tools, teachers will have the resources to cultivate and sustain a productive and harmonious classroom for every student"--
