Early-Stage Interventions: Behavior Strategies for Every Teacher

Early-Stage Interventions: Behavior Strategies for Every Teacher offers a set of simple, teacher-friendly interventions to use as a starting place in addressing an individual student's chronic misbehavior---disrespect, noncompliance, lack of motivation, bullying, aggression, and more. Though every teacher will encounter students who display challenging behavior, many feel unprepared to effectively deal with such behavior in the classroom. This book presents a continuum of early-stage interventions that are easy for a classroom teacher to plan and implement. The teacher starts with the simplest one first, and continues on only when the student's behavior doesn't improve. Step-by-step directions guide the teacher through each of these interventions: *Planned Discussion *Correction Planning *Increasing Positive Interactions *Data Collection and Debriefing *Goal Setting *Building a Supportive Relationship *Function-Based Intervention When Teachers are able to improve misbehavior in the classroom in its early stages, a school's more intensive Tier 2 and 3 resources can be focused on intervening with more intractable behavior problems.
