Good morning,

I'm happy to announce the publication of a new title from Dordt University.

JONAH: A Positive Behavior Strategy by Dr. Kathleen VanTol

This set of modules provides a framework for teachers to improve their classroom management skills and provide appropriate behavior supports for students. The JONAH strategy is based on the three core principles of the framework: Just Opportunities for all students, New Actions for students and teachers, and Hope for the possibility of change. The modules can be used for professional development with licensed teachers or as part of a teacher preparation curriculum for upper-level undergraduates. Discussion questions are included as companion resources for each module.

Dr. VanTol is a Professor of Education & the Director of the Master of Special Education program at Dordt University.
