For teachers of all levels, Leaman, a behavior support teacher, educational writer, consultant, trainer, and children's author, provides advice for dealing with very challenging behavior. After addressing why students misbehave, she gives instructions for managing fidgeting and restlessness, attention-seeking behavior, attitude, group disruption, general disruption, uncooperative students, verbal abuse, and physical aggression, with strategies to encourage long-term progress and changes in attitude rather than punishment, and emphasizing student responsibility and choice. This edition has been expanded to include sections on issues such as dealing with gang culture, understanding group dynamics, and coping with stress. There is no bibliography.
