Improving Student Behavior and Cultivating Meaningful Relationships

“This Teacher's Guide is a must-have resource for educators. It offers practical, research-based strategies for fostering positive, inclusive classrooms. With realistic scenarios, it supports both new teachers and seasoned veterans in effectively implementing preventive strategies to teach and maintain positive behaviors. Implementing these strategies allow educators to spend less time managing intensive behaviors and more time creating inclusive classrooms where every student can thrive."" Heather Griller Clark, PhD Arizona State University “The book “Improving Student Behavior and Cultivating Meaningful Relationships: A Teacher’s Guide to Positive and Preventive Approaches in Inclusive Classrooms” is a source for pre-service and in-service teachers can use when establishing community classrooms that promotes active student engagement. From a practitioner lens, this book provides a step by step process for pre-service and in-service teachers to consider while building a foundation for their community inclusive classrooms.” William C. Hunter, EdD University of Memphis “This is the book that I wish I would have had as a new teacher. While these strategies are not typically taught in teacher preparation programs, Collins, Landrum, and Sweigart have created a survival manual of sorts. The strategies and considerations discussed represent our current science of effective classroom management, presented in an accessible and user-friendly manner.” Terry Scott, PhD University of Louisville
