Managing Student Behavior provides an in-depth understanding of student behavior, including identifying factors that trigger and maintain negative, disruptive actions and attitudes. It provides an overview of appropriate reinforcement, which is fundamental in making positive behavior changes, and highlights many effective, evidence-based strategies that support permanent change for Kindergarten – Grade 8 classrooms. Real-life examples and anecdotes throughout the book illustrate a variety of classroom challenges, as well as strategies used to support positive change in each scenario.
Within this webinar, Marsha will share a practical approach to behavior management that can be brought immediately back to the classroom. Teachers will leave with a toolbox of strategies to address and manage the many behaviors they encounter every day.
