De la contraportada

Ditch the behavioral charts and start teaching for universal success

I was hooked on the book on the first page of the preface . Dr. Stan Paine, former National Distinguished Principal and Oregon Elementary Principal of the Year

Provides a comprehensive and flexible means of managing psychological and physical needs in children to motivate growth through effective learning. A must read, must know, must teach. Dr. Dustin Marsh, Psy.D.

DISINTERESTED STUDENTS and behavioral problems are all too common in schools. Yet results show that behavior charts and other reward and punishment systems simply don't work. Teachers are burning out and students are failing. But what can be done?

The solution lies in a unique combination of behavioral science, neuropsychology, and group dynamics. When teachers get the classroom experience right, students want to succeed and achieve to their potential, while behavioral problems largely vanish.

For decades, it has been widely accepted that children have motivating needs including the need to avoid pain, a need for autonomy, and the need to belong. The authors harness these motivations into interactive methods that enhance cooperation and develop children who want to succeed and help others thrive.

Packed with real classroom examples and practical guidance for using the methods, this guide gives teachers the tools to transform even difficult classrooms. Start teaching for universal success in classroom management and academic accomplishments.

Holds the wisest, most reasonable, and compassionate treatment for every student. Karen M. Smith, M.Ed, Ed.S, National Certified School Counselor
