Managing Challenging Behaviors in Schools

“This book would be an excellent ancillary text for any course in classroom management....It should be on the bookshelf of every teacher looking for creative but proven approaches to classroom problems. Psychologists who consult with parents and teachers will also find it invaluable. Having mastered the behavior change research as well as the art of writing in an engaging and clear manner, the authors have provided us with a clear bridge between research and practice.”
