BESD (Behavioral, Emotional and Social Difficulties) is by far the biggest issue facing teachers today. This guide will challenge and revolutionize current thinking on behavior management, breaking down BESD students into three main categories - those who can't learn (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), those who won't learn (Oppositional Defiant Disorder) and those who simply don't care whether they learn or not (Conduct Disorder). Brimming with practical examples and containing a unique *contract* template that teachers can use for their most difficult students, this guide should prove invaluable reading for frazzled teachers everywhere.
All children are challenging to some extent, but some are more challenging than others. Students with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD) can be tough to support and teach. This pocketbook helps you to do just that. It focuses on three particular behaviour disorders: ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), CD (Conduct Disorder) and ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder). Fintan O'Regan, an internationally renowned expert on ADHD, explains why some children are prone to developing a can't learn, won't learn or don't care attitude. He devotes individual chapters to each behaviour pattern and uses Vicki, Liam and Darren to illustrate typical characteristics. Practical classroom strategies include lesson scenarios, with example dialogues showing how different teacher responses can lead to different outcomes. Whether you're looking for explanations, tips, ideas, or strategies (or maybe just reassurance and support) this book fits the bill.
