This book provides a 30-item checklist that describes seven essential features of high-quality behavior-guidance policies for programs serving children birth to 8 years old (gleaned from many different research sources).  The book presents their philosophical approach to behavior guidance; how having a high-quality policy can support classroom activities; the research field on which the policy is based; 5-step process for putting the policies into action.  A big part of the book is the TAGPEC (which is a tool for rating the current behavior policies in a program and guides those that don’t yet have policies). The audience for this book appears to be for those interested in the theory of discipline policies and evaluating policies of a large site or school district program, rather than an individual teacher looking to make changes in her classroom (although, there are some applicable tidbits).  (Written by Michele Neely, SpEd preschool teacher for the Olympia School District)
