Classroom Management for All Teachers

PRENTICE/HALL

This in-depth book bridges the gap between educational theory and the classroom with eleven practical classroom management plans designed to be applied to actual teaching situations. Easy to implement, these plans cover two primary circumstances: student on-task and assignment completion problems and student disruptive behavior and rule violations. KEY TOPICS: Written with a minimum of jargon, Classroom Management for All Teachers provides definitions of behavioral terminology and hypothetical examples that demonstrate the effects of specific techniques in a classroom setting. Each plan includes a brief description, baseline measurement tools, step-by-step implementation procedures, hypothetical applications, a selection of reproducible forms, and more. An essential resource for every educator, school administrator, and school psychologist.

Classroom Management for All Teachers: 11 Effective Plans

Education & Teaching

Schools & Teaching

Challenging behaviors and poor student performance are often attributed to many of society's ills. As a result of the presence of such factors in some students' lives, changing these students' behavior in the classroom is seen as futile unless one can change their nonschool environment. To facilitate the reader's capability to develop intervention strategies that make functional sense, this text provides sufficient background in understanding why this behavior occurs. In order to design and implement effective intervention strategies, the ability to decode the function of challenging behavior is a requisite. The first two chapters provide the basic conceptual knowledge for decoding student classroom behavior. A number of hypothetical examples are used to illustrate that challenging problem behavior does make sense when observed from a functional perspective. Six behavioral functions are delineated and many examples are used to demonstrate how behavior can serve such a purpose. Three common factors within classroom environments are offered and examples are portrayed. Chapters 3 and 4 present basic principles of behavior that undergird the content in Chapters 1 and 2. Chapters 5 and 6 explore the methods of collecting information and data, which are essential skills for classroom personnel in their efforts to decode student behavior. Chapter 7 addresses how to intervene with challenging behavior problems by providing an intervention that enables an appropriate behavior to effectively and efficiently produce the identified function. The final chapter involves a discussion of challenging behaviors that occur in classroom contexts which are not socially mediated. There are two sets of objective measures when reading and studying each chapter: fill-in-the-blank (see Appendix A) and true/false test items follow chapter summaries. The answers to these measures are provided in files on the attached CD-ROM. Appendix B provides performance tasks for several of the chapters. Four decades of history of using applied research concerning behavioral interventions in homes and classrooms successfully supports the efforts that behavior change occurred as a result of what teachers did in the classroom. This book will be an invaluable resource for teachers, special educators, student teachers, school administrators, and anyone who is associated with schools.

There are three or four other texts on functional analysis. I've examined every one and Cipani's is clearly the best. The assessment part is great, and I particularly like the "protocol" format for interventions. Cipani's text nicely fills a big gap between research and application. Were I teaching a seminar to clinicians, I think the text would be perfect." -- Brian A. Iwata, PhD, University of Florida Professionals who work in mental health and educational settings are frequently faced with clients (children, adolescents, adults) who engage in serious problem behaviors. Such behaviors often impact the client's welfare and ability to live, work, and be educated in mainstream environments. Children and adolescents who manifest these behaviors are particularly vulnerable to these disruptions, which can have a far-reaching impact on their development and future prospects. This practical book, written both for clinician/educators and high-level students, creates a function-based behavioral diagnostic classification system, the first of its kind, as well as treatment protocols that fit such a diagnostic system. Heavily "practitioner-oriented," the book will address the full range of behaviors - ranging from aggression, self-injury, stereotypic behavior (repetitive body movements), tantrums, and non-compliance - with real life and hypothetical cases to help clinicians think through the full range of treatment options. Unique in moving beyond functional assessment to assessment diagnosis and treatment, this book will be highly useful for mental health clinicians, students of Advanced Behavior Analysis, and special education practitioners among others. Professor Cipani has also prepared extensive ancillary material for use in teaching this book and will make it available to anyone who has adopted it for course use.
