By David A. Sousa

Book Overview

Use research-based strategies to improve behavior in the K-12 classroom

How do brain development rates explain adolescents′ erratic behavior? What type of data collection helps to manage misbehavior? Can peer influence curb misbehavior rather than encourage it? Why are boys more likely to misbehave than girls and what can teachers do about it? How do school/classroom climates affect student behavior?
