Description
Minimize problem behavior and maximize student success!
Acting-out behavior by students manifests in ways that make classroom management and teaching very challenging.
Building on a model using seven phases of acting-out behavior presented in the first edition, the newly updated edition draws on new research in applied behavior analysis, sound instructional principles, and functional behavior assessment to deliver a clear roadmap for educators to design interventions in a clear, systematic, and achievable matter. Features include:
- Managing each phase of the acting-out cycle—from structuring the classroom, to handling escalated behavior, to recovery
- Case studies that distill concrete action steps from the book’s concepts
- Checklists, tools, resources, and templates for applying the book’s principles to any classroom
