Customer Reviews

Tells me what I need to learn and know.

I was told by my county's recruiter to get a book on behavior management to learn more about behavior management strategies. I found this book here and purchased and now am halfway through the book. I think this is an excellent book for anyone who wants to learn behavior management - especially educators. It discusses methods, techniques, assessment, and strategies to solve any behavior. It gives great examples as well. I would highly recommend getting this book.

Good Resource

We are using this book in our Masters Degree in Education and it is actually pretty good. For Psychologists it turns to be a little bit basic but this book was written for an educational environment, so the ideas and tips are simple and in-frame. Also the explanation of behavioral modification terms and technicalities are easy to understand for people who didn't study Psychology. I recommend it.

Informative; Variety of examples

This is a well written text on the topic of behavior management. It offers numerous examples to support the theories mentioned. It is an informative read for teachers and parents alike, and offers tangible solutions.
