Covering both general and special education behavior management topics, Focusing on Behavior Management is designed to help administrators provide educators with quality professional development that is based on sound legal principles. This 98-page professional development guide separates common behavior management issues into 12 situation-specific topics, including:

• Behavior problems on the school bus
• Manifestation determinations
• School safety and disciplinary procedures
• Disciplining Section 504 students
• Managing test anxiety
• And 7 other behavior management topics

And, each topic section includes two reproducible* professional development tools that enhance staff training by offering guidance that educators can immediately apply in their classrooms:

Reports - provides guidance, tips and strategies written by experts that can be used in collaboration with corresponding Activity Guides or disseminated separately as easy-to-read informative articles

Activity Guides - formulated using a research-based professional development model, each topic-specific activity helps educators understand and learn how to apply legally sound behavior management strategies

What's more, Focusing on Behavior Management is easily adaptable to your schedule - use during an entire day dedicated to behavior management training or break it up into several brief professional development sessions.
