3150, CODE, BER, A Practical Approach to Management and Discipline: Strategies for Dealing with Challenging and Difficult Students, Grades 3-6

This video-based professional development course demonstrates practical, classroom-tested strategies for addressing the misbehaviors of difficult students and de-escalating potentially volatile situations. You'll also see how to apply these same strategies in conferences to help noncompliant intermediate grade students take responsibility for their actions.

Even in well-managed classrooms, intermediate grade teachers may need to contend with students who act out and are disruptive. In this course, you’ll see teachers demonstrate strategies for dealing with misbehaviors ranging from students who act out for attention to those motivated by power or revenge. You’ll see a variety of techniques for staying out of power struggles with challenging students, both in the classroom and during student conferencing.

You will learn how to:

• Implement highly effective intervention strategies that really work with difficult, challenging students
• Calmly avoid being drawn into power struggles while maintaining classroom control
• De-escalate interactions with upset and angry students
• Conduct productive problem-solving conferences with challenging, noncompliant students
