Tough Kid Book Third Edition

by Ginger Rhode, William R. Jenson, Natalie Allen Williams

Solutions for the Toughest Kids. Tough Kids combine behavioral excesses such as noncompliance, aggression, and tantrums with less obvious deficits in academic, self-management, and social skills. Tough Kids are a challenge, but you can use proactive, positive techniques to manage and motivate them. All techniques presented have been shown to be effective by rigorous research. "Over the years. The Tough Kid Book and its companion, The Tough Kid Tool Box, have defined the gold standard for effective intervention with students who experience behavioral-emotional challenges in their schooling. The Tough Kid Book incorporates the most up-to-date discoveries and best-practice strategies available and presents them in a highly usable format." --Hill M. Walker, Professor of Special Education and codirector of the Institute on Violence and Destructive Behavior, University of Oregon.

This book provides a great description of tough kids and provides plenty of strategies to help set teachers/students up for success. One thing I wish future versions of this book would include would be more suggestions for non-core content teachers. It would also be nice to intertwine content of this book with Culturally Responsive teaching to provide more effective instruction.
