Summary:

This must-have guide delivers a set of fifteen essential behavioral intervention techniques, supported by research and case studies that can be applied in any classroom.

Contents:

Strategy 1. Attributions : the power of attributing student success to efforts

Strategy 2. Behavior momentum : beginning with easy tasks that ensure success in more difficult tasks

Strategy 3. Behavior interspersal : interspersing easy tasks with difficult tasks

Strategy 4. Behavior-specific praise : letting students know exactly what they did when you reinforce them

Strategy 5. Supportive proximity control : building positive relationships by moving around the room

Strategy 6. Interest-based interventions : incorporating student interests in classroom activities

Strategy 7. Premack principle : the student first does the non-preferred behavior to do the preferred behavior -Grandma's law

Strategy 8. Choices : empowering students by giving them choices

Strategy 9. Response cards : collective checks for understanding

Strategy 10. Differential reinforcement of other behavior : reinforcing other appropriate behavior desired to eliminate inappropriate behavior

Strategy 11. Fading : providing maximum cues and slowly removing the cues to ensure errorless learning

Strategy 12. Function-based strategies : understanding the reason the student is misbehaving to plan an appropriate intervention

Strategy 13. Strength-based strategies : capitalizing on the strengths of your students

Strategy 14. Sensory-based strategies : understanding how stimulation impacts performance

Strategy 15. Student self-monitoring : teaching independence by having students monitor their own behavior.
