Succeeding With Difficult Students® focuses on two key steps: building positive relationships with difficult students, and guiding students toward more constructive behavior. Teachers can use this resource to turn their students lives around, reduce their own stress, and increase their professional confidence. This resource shows teachers how to: - Rebuild broken trust and develop positive relationships with even the most challenging students. - Increase student self-esteem by focusing on appropriate behavior. - Develop proactive rather than reactive responses to student behavior. - Identify when and why a difficult student misbehaves, and develop an individualized behavior plan based on the student s special needs. - Use intervention strategies to limit confrontations and office referrals. - Stay calm when students undermine their ability to teach. - Hold difficult students accountable to classroom rules and expectations. - Successfully defuse confrontational or controlling behaviors.
