Product description

Review

"Colvin establishes the importance of empowering teachers with a range of specific, practical, research-based strategies to prevent problem behaviors from occurring and to respond effectively when problems do occur. Each strategy is grounded not only in applied behavior analytic techniques, but also respectful approaches to fostering more positive student-teacher interactions. Each chapter provides step-by-step instruction and clearly articulated illustrations. The strategies increase in intensity to support increasingly challenging behaviors. Colvin does an excellent job of teaching the reader the importance of the first response when undesirable behaviors occur."--Kathleen Lane, Associate Professor of Special Education (2/4/2010 12:00:00 AM)

"Geoff Colvin provides teachers a set of very useful, clear, and sensible tools to manage the behavior of a very important, often-overlooked contributor to their classroom environment: themselves. His strategies are a welcome booster shot for veteran teachers and a great foundation for new teachers just learning the intricacies of balancing instruction and environment in their classrooms. Colvin′s research-based ideas are already finding their way into my daily routine."--Mike McCornack, Technology Coordinator/Choral Director (2/4/2010 12:00:00 AM)

"The goal of Colvin′s work is teacher fluency in their first response to behavior, and I have already witnessed this in action as I observe our early career teachers. It is difficult, if not impossible, to provide quality instruction without effective classroom management. Every early career teacher needs to be well equipped with the concepts Colvin provides in this book."--Krista D. Parent, Superintendent (2/4/2010 12:00:00 AM)

"This is exactly what every teacher needs when dealing with problem behavior! I tried Colvin′s strategies in my classroom and they worked! The students who had problems have done a total turnaround with the tactics that Colvin said would work! I was shocked to see how easy they were to use and implement. It has totally changed my classroom!"--Jennifer Stargel, Fifth-Grade Teacher (2/9/2010 12:00:00 AM)

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid book for behavior management
Reviewed in the United States on 9 August 2017

If you're an educator this is a great book.

I have not put into practice yet, so I can't tell you from experience if it works. However the writing is professional, based on scientific research, and will make you reflect on your practice.

If you are a reflective teacher and want to become better at maintaining and improving you're own behavior to influence your students this is the book for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Scenarios included and are, for the most part, realistic.
Reviewed in the United States on 6 July 2013
Verified Purchase
This is a good book for teachers who want to learn from "real life" scenarios. Every single intervention begins with: 1. assess the situation (seriously, don't we always assess the situation, even when we react in ways that exacerbate things/) 2. maintain the flow of instruction 3. attend to those who are performing appropriately first (unless, as the authors say, someone is being harmed. I say that's always true and for non-assaultive situations well ok, this works for most situations, but when you get to the very extreme misbehaviors of a relative few who are yet and still not assaulting anybody, this will NOT work).

Having written that...it really is one of the most practical "student behavior management" books I've read and believe me, as a former teacher and high-school principal who now trains both groups, I've done a LOT of reading and research.
