About this Item

Mainstreaming and other inclusion policies have greatly increased the number of students with behavior and adjustment problems in regular elementary and middle-school classrooms. How can teachers and other school professionals most effectively motivate these children to improve their skills, attitudes, and coping abilities? Presenting research-based strategies for helping students with problems succeed in school, this volume integrates the latest research on child development, educational psychology, and the literature provided by treatment professionals. It also includes the results of the Classroom Strategy Study (CS), a comprehensive study which examines strategies that teachers have used - both successfully and unsuccessfully - in dealing with a broad range of commonly encountered student problems, such as underachievement, aggression, defiance, immature behavior, and excessive shyness. With special attention to how teachers, parents, and other school professionals can collaborate to help problem students while maintaining an effective and supportive learning environment for all students, this accessible volume is an indispensable resource for anyone working in the schools. It also serves as an excellent text.
