Behavior Management: Applications for Teachers (3rd Edition) - 6272

This user-friendly book promotes an understanding of both the technical and functional aspects of applied behavior analysis, and examines appropriate implementation strategies for managing behavior wherever adults supervise the activities of children and adolescents—in the classroom, at day care centers, even at home. Based on solid theory, it integrates many practical applications, field-based examples, and case studies. An emphasis on teaching and reinforcing appropriate behavior and social skills supports a technique believed to be the most effective behavior management strategy today. Focused chapters present effective strategies for young children, adolescents, and students of diverse backgrounds. Up-to-date content includes ADHD, peer monitoring and mediation, behavior management research, assessment tools, and cultural influences. Special coverage of preschool children highlights the special characteristics of this population and the special considerations they demand—also covering ethnic background, culture, and family customs as they relate to behavior management. For pre-service and in-service teachers in regular and special education environments at all levels—preschool, elementary, and secondary, and also for educational administrators, counselors, psychologists, and social workers.
