How to Reach and Teach Children with Challenging Behavior (K-8): Practical, Ready-to-Use Interventions that Work

How To Reach and Teach Children With Challenging Behavior

The Must-Have Resource for All Teachers

San Francisco, CA - With classrooms of more than twenty plus students, teachers do not always have the time to reign in disruptive behavior, and sometimes are at a loss on how to effectively discipline.  That is why Kaye Otten and Jodie Tuttle took their forty years of experience and wrote How to Reach and Teach Children With Challenging Behavior (K-8): Practical, Ready-to-Use Interventions that Work, a book that offers educators a practical approach to managing problem behavior in schools.

The book is filled with down-to-earth advice, ready-to-use forms, troubleshooting tips, recommended resources, and teacher-tested strategies.  Teachers who read this book will learn how to better intervene proactively, efficiently and effectively with students exhibiting behavior problems.  Additionally, it includes research-backed support for educators and offers:

  • Instructions for creating and implementing an effective class-wide behavior management program
  • Guidelines for developing engaging lessons and activities that teach and support positive behavior
  • Advice for assisting students with the self-regulation and management their behavior and emotions

How to Reach and Teach Children with Challenging Behavior also gives advice for developing engaging lessons and activities that support and promote positive behavior, and includes tactics for helping children self-regulate and manage their own emotions and anger.  This book is a must-read for all elementary school teachers.
