Behavioral problems can disrupt learning for the whole classroom if not managed properly, which is often a matter of frustrating trial and error. Just in time, this must-have guide brings you essential strategies to improve student learning by supporting good behavior rather than punishing bad behavior.

Backed by research and case studies, each chapter is brief and to-the-point with a focus on one specific behavioral intervention technique. Insights include

 

Incorporating student interests in classroom activities

Understanding why the student is misbehaving to plan an appropriate intervention

Understanding how stimulation impacts performance
