"Classroom management is frequently cited as one of or the most pressing problems that teachers face, and the pandemic only exacerbated this situation. At the same time, today's teachers are busy and have little time for analyzing the classroom dynamics and developing long, involved behavior intervention plans. This book is written for teachers who need immediate support and practical ideas that work in their classrooms. It is designed to help teachers prevent as many of these misbehaviors as possible, but also help them respond effectively when the behaviors do happen-to support their efforts to teach other prosocial, positive behaviors students can learn instead. The Big Book of Behavior Management is divided into four parts. Part 1 provides a foundation for teachers and includes background matter, research-based support, and information related to pro-social skills and student behavior. Part 2 is about preventing misbehaviors and presents good practices for creating a positive learning environment. Part 3 discusses the authors' model and supporting research, and Part 4 presents the 50 interventions"--
Transform your behavior management with practical interventions that work
Classroom management is one the most pressing problems that teachers face—and studies show that the challenges are only increasing. If student behavior is not managed successfully, the learning environment may become so chaotic, unstructured, and ineffective that teachers cannot teach and students cannot learn.
The Big Book of Behavior Management helps teachers prevent as many misbehaviors as possible and provides them with research-based strategies to help them respond effectively when misbehavior does happen. Inside, you'll find
- Information on the causes of misbehavior and how to create a classroom environment where students thrive
- A 7-step model for teaching positive, prosocial behaviors and preventing misbehavior
- 50 ready-to-use behavior interventions and practices for the ten most common challenges teachers face, including students’ chronic tardiness, talking out of turn, and isolating themselves
- The latest research on classroom behavior and how it affects academics
Written for all teachers who need support in their classrooms, The Big Book of Behavior Management provides you with the right tools to manage and teach behavior, build relationships, and develop students' academic, social, and self-regulation skills.
