This text supports teachers in preventing management problems and responding to unwanted behavior when it occurs in classrooms.

Managing Disruptive Behaviors in the Schools offers a comprehensive presentation of three levels of behavior management strategies: school-wide, classroom, and individual. Although all of these levels contribute to a positive learning environment according to the U.S. Department of Education, many Schools of Education have not had the resources to cover all three environments. A social learning emphasis, in which human behavior is viewed within an ecological framwork, is integrated throughout the text. Application of this information is supported by a range of devices such as vignettes, examples, strategies, and activities to show students how to manage behavior effectively.
