The Educator's Guide to Preventing and Solving Discipline Problems

More about the book

What can you do to prevent student conflicts in hallways and disruptions in class? This comprehensive, research-based guide offers solutions to these challenges and more by helping you develop a schoolwide discipline system. Preventing issues often requires less effort than addressing them after they arise, leading to a more enjoyable environment for both teachers and students. Mark and Christine Boynton provide a range of prevention strategies suitable for various settings, emphasizing their appropriateness in different circumstances. However, when preventive measures fail, knowing effective interventions is essential. This guide teaches you the best responses to student misbehavior and outlines strategies for managing oppositional defiant disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and anger management issues. Additionally, it encourages exploration of your school's philosophical beliefs on discipline, fosters positive teacher-student relationships, and clarifies acceptable classroom behavior. Whether you're a K-12 teacher or a school principal, this resource will transform your approach to discipline for the better!
