A Teacher's Guide to Preventing Behavior Problems in the Elementary Classroom

Stephen W. Smith and Mitchell L. Yell

This guide includes straightforward, feasible, and evidence-based strategies designed to prevent behavior problems in K-5 classrooms.

With an exclusive classroom focus, A Teachers Guide to Preventing Behavior Problems in the Elementary Classroom encourages teachers to be proactive in classroom management. Its emphasis on preventing behavior problems before they occur enables teachers to run their classrooms more efficiently and experience less frustration, while also increasing students learning. Using real-life classroom scenarios, this guide equips teachers with management techniques that break the common cycle of frustration, aggression, rejection, and hostility, so they can create positive classroom environments.

Good blend of vignettes, practical information, and relevant research. The writing style is structured but practitioner-friendly.

- Gail Hartin, Ph.D., Professor, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas

Using charts, classroom scenarios that provide a basis for understanding the concepts presented, and listing specific techniques and strategies when handling students who are misbehaving; [this book] allows a novice reader and practitioner opportunities to learn and grow as a professional, in the field of education.
