BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Solution Tree, a premier provider of professional development resources and services for educators, is pleased to announce the release of Behavior Academies: Targeted Interventions That Work! by Jessica Djabrayan Hannigan and John Hannigan. Written by two veteran educators, the book offers guidance on how to replace challenging student behaviors with those that strengthen essential life skills for school and beyond.

With its practical behavior intervention method, Behavior Academies 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.

This book will help K–12 educators:

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

Mike Mattos, author and education expert, has this to say about Behavior Academies: "Once educators embrace the fact that punitive consequences are not the best way to respond to student behavior challenges, the question remains: How do we intervene when students lack essential behaviors? This book provides the answers!"

Behavior Academies is available to order at SolutionTree.com.
