I love the empowerment that the front cover represents and it only gets better from there as you dive in and turn the pages for practical suggestions on how to manage unwanted behaviors as you shape them into desired behaviors. I especially connected with the section on the functions of behavior. Behavior helps students communicate to get their needs met…. Once we can see beneath those behaviors to get to their root cause, we can offer appropriate replacement behaviors to equip and empower students to soar more successfully. If you strive for that Happy Class, then this book is for you. * The Corner on Character *\u003cbr\u003eDr. Jenna Sage has found a way to both encourage and equip teachers to manage classroom behaviors in a way that builds a positive classroom climate for both students as well as their teachers. Attending to the heart of the teacher in this process is crucial to its success. I would recommend this book for every beginning and veteran teacher so that they too can be happy in their work with kids. -- Vicki Caruana\u003cbr\u003eDr. Jenna Pollard Sage has provided practitioners with a user-friendly guide that will give staff members interventions they can use the very next day after reading this book. Dr. Sage is a master at taking a small environmental change, pairing it with a replacement behavior, and revising the response feedback, to create a high return on investment.   If you are a new teacher, a seasoned teacher, or a professional development trainer, you will enjoy the resources in Dr. Sage's book.  It is with great admiration for her work that I highly recommend this book. -- Laura Riffel, Author\u003cbr\u003eHappy Class is a very easy to read with book with real life experiences that incorporates ABA principles into classroom management.
