This handbook is designed to assist teachers in helping junior high school special education students develop the skills needed to manage their behavior and build the socialization skills necessary for mainstreaming and a return to general education classes. Activities are presented in the theme areas of self-esteem and respect, communication and personal relationships, self-control, and effective behavior. Each activity description includes information on appropriate grade levels, an annual goal (e.g., students will understand that positive self-esteem and self-respect will enhance their lives), vocabulary, materials, procedure, evaluation, extension activities, and activity adaptations. A brief bibliography is included. (CB)
