Teaching Problem Students by Jere Brophy PhD

by Jere Brophy

Mainstreaming and other inclusion policies have greatly increased the number of students with behavior and adjustment problems in regular elementary and middle-school classrooms. How can teachers and other school professionals most effectively motivate these children to improve their skills, attitudes, and coping abilities? Providing research-based strategies for helping students with problems succeed in school, this unique volume integrates the latest research on child development, educational psychology, and the literature provided by treatment professionals. The book also includes the results of the Classroom Strategy Study (CSS), a comprehensive study which examines strategies that teachers have used both successfully and unsuccessfully in dealing with a broad range of student problems. Special attention is paid to ways that teachers, parents, and other school professionals can best collaborate to help problem students while maintaining an effective and supportive learning environment for all students.
