Résumé du livre
Use research-based strategies to improve behavior in the K–12 classroom!
This hands-on guide translates brain research into effective intervention strategies for managing student misbehavior. In reader-friendly language, the author discusses brain functions and causes linked to negative behaviors, provides reproducible worksheets and checklists, and answers critical questions such as:
- How do brain development rates explain adolescents' erratic behavior?
- What type of data collection helps to manage misbehavior?
- Can peer influence curb misbehavior rather than encourage it?
- Why are boys more likely to misbehave than girls and what can teachers do about it?
- How do school/classroom climates affect student behavior?
