3155, CODE, BER, A Practical Approach to Management and Discipline: Strategies for Dealing with Challenging, Difficult Students, Grades 6-12

This video-based professional development course demonstrates practical, classroom-tested strategies for addressing the misbehaviors of difficult students, de-escalating potentially volatile situations, and facilitating problem-solving conferences to help noncompliant students in grades 6-12 take responsibility for their actions.

Even in well-managed classrooms, secondary teachers may need to contend with students who are noncompliant, disrespectful or disruptive. You'll learn practical intervention strategies for re-directing off-task behavior that may still occur despite a teacher's best efforts. You'll see teachers demonstrate a range of strategies for effectively addressing disruptive student behavior, including verbal assaults and actions that are or intimidating.

You will learn how to:

• Use a versatile repertoire of powerful strategies to respectfully and effectively deal with a wide range of student behaviors
• Adjust interventions to most successfully address students’ behaviors and intentions
• Remain calm and in control, even when faced with highly inappropriate comments and actions
• Stay out of power struggles and no-win confrontations with students who are seeking power or revenge
• Work productively with challenging students to resolve problems and move towards more responsible classroom behavior
