Download or read book QUICK Responses for Reducing Misbehavior and Suspensions written by Gavoni Paul and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-14 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a teacher, administrator, behavior analyst, or a professional supporting schools where misbehavior has a consistent negative impact on morale and student achievement? Is your schoolwide positive behavior support system failing to meet your needs? Are suspensions and issues related disproportionality growing? If so, you aren't alone. But this book can help. If you are like most teachers and school leaders, you've received little to no training in behavior or classroom management. This is shocking given that most educators leaving the field commonly cite issues with misbehavior as one of the primary reasons. You shouldn't be put in a position where you are trying to figure out how to deal with behavioral issues through trial and error. This is ineffective, and inefficient. You deserve better. To help remedy this, using the collective 80 plus years of experience in education, the authors wrote this book to guide you through a simple framework for embedding a system of responding to misbehavior in and out of the class that will improve both student behavior and achievement. Listen, conquering behavioral issues, especially when they are prevalent across the school, can be challenging. It requires a systematic and team effort involving both classroom, school leaders, and everybody else. When there is a breakdown in even one part of the system, it impacts the rest. The breakdown might be as simple as one classroom having a number of behavioral issues, or a well-intended administrator placing students in the wrong area following misbehavior that led to removal from the classroom. Sometimes this impact is small. Other times it can have a large ripple effect that builds momentum like a behavioral avalanche and has a devastating impact on the climate and culture of the school. As such, you can't really consider reducing misbehavior, at least not larger scale changes, without making the connection between what happens inside of the classroom to what happens outside of it. In the most successful schools, classroom and school leaders prevent and address behavioral issues through a unified and systematic approach. Therefore, it's important that each understand their own role and responsibility as well as the role and responsibility of the other that help to make up this system. If you are struggling with misbehavior, why wait? This book has the toolbox that you've been looking for!

Download or read book The Leader in Me written by Stephen R. Covey and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children in today's world are inundated with information about who to be, what to do and how to live. But what if there was a way to teach children how to manage priorities, focus on goals and be a positive influence on the world around them? The Leader in Meis that programme. It's based on a hugely successful initiative carried out at the A.B. Combs Elementary School in North Carolina. To hear the parents of A. B Combs talk about the school is to be amazed. In 1999, the school debuted a programme that taught The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Peopleto a pilot group of students. The parents reported an incredible change in their children, who blossomed under the programme. By the end of the following year the average end-of-grade scores had leapt from 84 to 94. This book will launch the message onto a much larger platform. Stephen R. Covey takes the 7 Habits, that have already changed the lives of millions of people, and shows how children can use them as they develop. Those habits -- be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek to understand and then to be understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw -- are critical skills to learn at a young age and bring incredible results, proving that it's never too early to teach someone how to live well.
