Classroom management is critical to successful teaching, but many K-12 teachers struggle with it. This indispensable guide distills the best classroom management science into easy-to-implement strategies teachers can use to promote a productive and safe learning environment. Chapters provide evidence-based guidelines for implementing classwide prevention strategies, token economies, group contingencies, and self-management interventions. Procedures for evaluating intervention effectiveness and individualizing interventions are described. Reproducible tools include 9 forms and 21 quick-reference "coach cards" that distill the key steps of each strategy. The large-size format facilitates photocopying; purchasers also get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials.

This book is based on the idea that a behavior management plan can be as effective in preventing problematic classroom behavior as it is in managing it and utilizes an evidence-based approach to solving problems. It offers easy-to-implement, research-based plans for addressing problematic classroom behavior in two key areas: on-task time/assignment completion and disruption/rule violation. The author introduces a dozen behavior management plans in non-technical language. This eliminates the need for extensive training in behavior therapy or learning theory. FEATURES: An introductory chapter addressing "evidence-based" practice in education-Explaining the scientific nature of the book's plans and introducing the rationale behind the use of such practice. A chapter on the "beeper" system for enhancing student engagement. Introduces a recently developed device, the "MotivAider"-explains how it works, when it is best used, and what can be expected when it is used. A common format in each plan chapter (Chapters 2 -12)-Description, terms, apparatus, baseline measurement, procedures, "how it works," additional considerations, hypothetical cases, "what if," and forms. Facilitates comparison among plans-helps future teachers develop their intuitive sense for what works with which learners, and why. Discussion of a "dual plan" strategy for addressing disruptive behavior-Teaming a plan for stopping the disruptive behavior with one for encouraging desired behavior. Illustrates the advantage in tackling certain problem behaviors "on two fronts"-offers specific plans that work concurrently to change "bad" behavior into "good" behavior. A wide range of plans-For individual students, small groups, and entire classrooms. Expands the repertoire of both beginning and veteran teachers-provides a full complement of strategies to fit a wide range of situations and behaviors. Perforated pages--Enables teachers to tear out specific plans for implementation.
