Swinson, Jeremy; Cording, Mike
British Journal of Special Education, v29 n2 p72-75 Jun 2002
A study investigated the impact of in-service training on the use of assertive discipline in a school for pupils with emotional/behavioral difficulties. Results indicate improved rates in on-task behavior and reduced numbers of disruptive incidences. Changes in pupil behavior mirrored an increase in teachers' use of positive feedback and praise.
