Effective Strategies for

Classroom Behavior Management

A program for K-12 teachers, administrators, and others working with

difficult, defiant, unmotivated, angry, or emotionally disturbed children

and adolescents in regular or special education classes or alternative

schools

EVIDENCE-BASED METHODS THAT REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Presented by Positive Concepts &

Dr. Holzer, BS, MA, MD

Are disruptive students sabotaging teacher effectiveness?

One student with a behavioral problem can disrupt an entire classroom and

sabotage the effectiveness of the most capable educator. Decreasing budgets

and falling grades on comprehension assessment tests have made teaching a

highly competitive profession where teachers are being held solely

responsible for the academic performance of students despite the many

variables that educators understand contribute to the ability to learn. The

reality is that the career of teacher increasingly rests on academic

outcomes. There are more students with behavior problems in classrooms today

than in years past, and the problems are often more severe. Most teachers

were not trained to deal with these problems, yet having several students

presenting with serious behavior problems is a typical classroom scenario.

In this workshop Dr. Holzer, offers evidence-based

strategies to work with difficult, defiant, unmotivated, angry, and

emotionally disturbed children and adolescents. This program will provide

you with strategies to enhance learning, build self-esteem, and control

disruptive and otherwise troublesome behavior.

The causes of these problems (conduct disorder, oppositional

defiant disorder, ADHD, depression and bipolar disorder, bullying, societal

violence, parental mismanagement, among others) will be discussed, and, on

this foundation, practical strategies will be built to maintain behavioral

control and enhance teacher efficacy.

Please join us for this timely, informative workshop. We know you are busy.

Join us and we will make good use of your time. You can expect to return to

your school with practical tools. And we know that, to be practical,

management strategies have to be cost effective in terms of time so Dr.

Holzer will stress effective brief intervention techniques in day-to-day

behavior management. Over 97% of our participants say this program " met " or

" exceeded " expectations.

" Thank you for a terrific program. Specific practical ideas were what I

needed and that is what I got. " Donna Packmeyer, 4th grade teacher,

Richmond, Virginia

" This day was packed with ideas I'll be able to use tomorrow when I return

to school. Well worth my time. " Stebbens, high school English

teacher, Cedar Rapids, Iowa
