The Personal Power Combination Kit of behavior and discipline techniques is North America's only comprehensive system for rapidly and effectively teaching difficult, challenged, and problem youth to succeed in school. This series was developed troubled teens and children. It is especially created to turnaround violent, withdrawn, challenged, unmotivated, absent, learning disabled, and out-of-control youth and children through Grade 12. This lesson series was developed to give teachers, special educators, court workers, social workers, counselors, psychologists, foster parents, and youth professionals all the techniques needed to teach youth how to succeed in school emotionally and socially.

The Personal Power behavior management lesson plan series is composed of four sequences, each containing 10 lesson plans that require minimal preparation. Each lesson plan includes engaging techniques that ease students into making changes they might otherwise resist or avoid. Lesson plans include worksheets, printables, lively cartoons, contests, games, experiments, stories, role-plays, and other innovative techniques and devices that are so creative and innovative, that you can't find them anywhere else.

The series' four volumes focus on three areas of success: school, with self, and with others. The lessons in Developing Appropriate Teacher Interaction Skills help students to gain the motivation, attitudes, beliefs, and in-school behaviors they need to successfully interact with teachers, participate in class discussions, recognize the value of rules, complete homework, and focus appropriately on learning tasks. The lesson plans in Becoming an Effective Student help unmotivated youth to discover the importance of school. Skills covered include homework management and completion, test study skills, frustration management, and school work organization skills. The Gaining Self Control volume provides techniques that help even highly impulsive, non-compliant, angry, and emotionally disturbed youth and children work to gain and consistently use impulse control, judgment, anger control, and essential self-control skills. Also included are self-esteem building and goal setting techniques that really work when conventional methods don't. The lessons included in the Peer Interaction Skills volume help children and adolescents learn and use the social skills they need to function successfully in school, work, the community, and home. The lesson plans vividly teach students how to initiate conversations, stop conflict, and avoid being influenced by negative leaders. Students also learn how to cope with cliques, interact appropriately with opposite-gender peers, have an acceptable appearance, and be able to properly interact with peers of diverse cultural backgrounds.

The complete Personal Power Combination Kit includes these four volumes: Gaining Self Control; Peer Interaction Skills; Developing Appropriate Teacher Interaction Skills; and Becoming an Effective Student. Books have a lie-flat binding, and printable worksheets are included with many lesson plans. Click to go to Pro Ed's site.
