This book is a practical guide to developing resilient learners by equipping educators with trauma informed practices and behaviour support strategies.

Children who exhibit explosive, dangerous, or noncompliant behavior present a difficult challenge to school personnel (Smallwood, 2003). Teachers who lack the ability to cope with disruptive behavior or with a student in crisis may perceive themselves as unsuccessful, resulting in stress and, in extreme cases, teacher burnout and turnover. Furthermore, teachers express lower levels of competence and job satisfaction when working with disruptive children. Research supports empirically validated classroom interventions that teachers can utilize to create an optimal learning environment and a site-specific plan to address behavioral challenges. This project addresses the training needs of teachers who work with disruptive students. The training module is research-based highlighting the prevention and intervention of disruptive classroom behavior. The module is a guide for teachers in the creation of a personalized prevention and intervention plan. This project was accomplished through the collaborative efforts of both authors. Related studies were researched, examined, and organized to support the project. During the writing process, drafts of individual chapters were prepared by a primary author. Chapters were then reviewed, edited and revised by both authors. The training module (Appendix A) was created in collaboration by both authors.

The Smart Classroom Management Way is a collection of the very best writing from ten years of Smart Classroom Management (SCM). It isn't, however, simply a random mix of popular articles. It's a comprehensive work that encompasses every principle, theme, and methodology of the SCM approach. The book is laid out across six major areas of classroom management and includes the most pressing issues, problems, and concerns shared by all teachers. The underlying SCM themes of accountability, maturity, independence, personal responsibility, and intrinsic motivation are all there and weave their way throughout the entirety of the book. Together, they form a simple, unique, and sometimes contrarian approach to classroom management that anyone can do. Whether you're an elementary, middle, or high school teacher, The Smart Classroom Management Way will give you the strategies, skills, and know-how to turn any group of students into the motivated, well-behaved class you love teaching.

The purpose of this research report is to explore practices that teachers can use to respond to behavior problems in their classes. Preliminary discussion focuses on understanding the context of student behavior and identifying student behavior problems early. Positive responses to student behavior problems are discussed in terms of the following tips: use a preventive approach; establish fair limits; set a positive example; restore order when a problem occurs; avoid delegating classroom management problems to others whenever possible; locate the real problem; change the classroom environment when necessary; provide alternatives to undesirable behavior; help students understand the consequences of their behavior; make provisions for a time out; help students modify their behavior; use group counseling procedures to promote positive behavior; avoid reinforcing negative behavior; invite students to succeed in the classroom; and know how to deal with pathological behavior. Five teacher behaviors--modeling, designing, interacting, responding, and assessing--are discussed as ways of introducing students to a way of life in the classroom. Concluding discussion concerns the influence of leadership style on student behavior, the relations between curriculum and student behavior problems, and student behavior problems and the community. Nearly 120 references are cited. (RH)
