Publisher Description:

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?
