"In The PBIS Tier 2 Handbook Jessica and John Hannigan include many documents, resources, and materials for school improvement. The markers featured help determine where improvements are needed and can be supported through the use of data gathered through the Benchmarks of Quality for a Tier 2 Team. We have made adjustments to support students in need in a prescriptive manner because of the way th e resources within this book shaped our Tier 2 Team. "
