Student and Classroom Behavior Management Problems
We’ve amassed the best answers that exist for nearly any “kid problem.”
We have attention-grabbing solutions to stop or manage youth violence, school failure, truancy, and dropping out, and we specialize in providing more effective strategies for even the most serious classroom management problems. We also have practical, use-now interventions for students who refuse to work in school, have behavior problems from autism or Asperger’s Syndrome, and those who face significant family problems. We also have resources to help turnaround or manage poor motivation, conduct disorder, oppositional defiance (O.D.D.), bad attitudes, ADHD, anger control issues and delinquency. We even offer intervention strategies for severe emotional problems (S.E.D.), independent living issues, and even “girl’s problems” like teen pregnancy. It’s information that no contemporary teacher, counselor, special educator, social worker, principal or youth professional can safely be without.
