Defusing Disruptive Behavior in the Classroom

Résumé du livre

When disruptive behaviour occurs, your first response can determine the outcome of the situation and how quickly it is resolved. This practical resource offers teachers approaches for immediately defusing disruptive situations, avoiding escalation, and correcting behaviours.

An expert in behaviour management, Geoff Colvin introduces seven key behavioural principles and offers specific, research-based strategies for handling disruptions. This resource features: strategies that target specific behaviours, including off-task behaviour, rule violations, disrespect, agitation, noncomplicance, and threat intimidations; common classroom scenarios and solutions for K - 12 general and special education teachers; and checklists and action plans for applying the strategies while maintaining the flow of instruction.

Defusing Disruptive Behavior in the Classroom helps teachers respond in a way that immediately corrects the misbehaviour and smoothly returns the class to learning.
