Publisher's Synopsis
Dealing with disruptive behaviour in the classroom can reduce the time a teacher has available for academic teaching. Teachers can help prevent problem behaviours by teaching social skills to students. When children practise and learn how to behave in the classroom they contribute to creating an environment that's calm quiet and conducive to successful learning. This book provides teachers with lesson plans with activities that include suggestions for discussion activities journalling role-play and reading. · Reproducible skill pages that you can hand out or post in the classroom as reminders to students and coupons you can use to reward good behaviour. · Techniques for blending the teaching of social skills into academic lessons in reading writing maths and social studies. · Ideas for using bulletin board displays and individual student graphs to motivate and monitor behaviour. The authors have a combined 40 years of teaching experience and have trained teachers administrators and other school staff. (bkcd, cdxp).
