Handbook of Individualized Strategies for Classroom Discipline

Organized for quick reference, this handbook lets you look up a specific classroom problem and choose—from an array of options—a discipline strategy that’s not only appropriate for the problem but also compatible with the particular student’s behavior style and level of motivation.

 

First the handbook shows you how to assess the student’s motivation level and behavior style. Then it lists 46 problem behaviors—absenteeism, anger, attention difficulties, cheating, defiance, drug use, fighting, hyperactivity, lying, profanity, shyness, stealing, and talking back, to name only a few. All you have to do is look up the problem, note the student’s motivation level and behavior style—and the appropriate intervention strategies will be described in detail. Concrete and practical, this handbook gives you a number of alternatives for each behavior problem encountered.
