This monograph provides a variety of positively focused techniques for effectively managing behaviors of students with emotional/behavioral disorders in the classroom. Each section focuses on a specific behavior management technique and includes a brief description of the technique, an explanation of why the particular technique works, conditions or circumstances influencing the effectiveness of the technique, and guidelines for implementing the technique. The techniques covered include: (1) social reinforcement; (2) token reinforcement; (3) modeling; and (4) behavioral contracting. A concluding chapter points out that teachers who use positive behavior management strategies create a classroom environment that is conducive to academic learning and social acceptance of students and that involves both the managing of student problem behaviors and the teaching of desired alternative behaviors.
