Synopses & Reviews
Cases in Behavior Management provides realistic, context-rich narratives of behavior problems and social conflicts occurring in school-based and home/community settings. Thoughtfully selected, cases reflect four environments (school classroom, school nonclassroom, home, and community) and address a broad range of ages and issues. Cases fall into two types–professional interventions and parent/teacher collaborations–and span across levels of development and forms of classroom organization. Each case consists of two parts (a quick description of the problem incident and background information concerning the individuals and context) and provides an excellent springboard for discussion, thought and debate.
