"Schools are fragile institutions. It's easy for them to turn bad or to become struggling. And then it's really hard to turn them around."
- Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers

About the Advantage Press
The Advantage Press became incorporated in 1986. We are a group of active and retired educators (teachers and administrators) with experience at all grade levels and in all types of communities. Groups of students are used in real school settings to test our material before we put it on the market. We use English teachers to edit our packets and computer teachers to provide the conversions to file formats for various computers and word processors.

News For Educators
Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports
A major advance in school discipline is the emphasis on school-wide systems of support that include proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors to create positive school environments.
Students who receive special education as a result of behavior problems must have individualized education programs that include behavior goals, objectives, and intervention plans. While current laws driving special education do not require specific procedures and plans for these students, it is recommended that their IEPs be based on functional behavioral assessments and include proactive positive behavioral interventions and supports. For more information on PBIS view the content of the Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports website.
A key component of PBIS can be targeting student self-assessment and goal-writing exercises. Behavior Learning Packets serve this component well.
As of January 1, 2008, over 171,000 of our products had been sold to schools in the United States and Canada.
