Putting Research to Work
Patschke, Melissa D.
Principal, v91 n4 p14-16, 18 Mar-Apr 2012
Every principal and teacher in every K-8 school in the country knows that children who struggle with difficult social, emotional, or behavioral issues also have difficulty learning. What educators do not always know is how to help these students. What are best practices in this area, and how can a principal and his or her staff implement them? As is so often the case in elementary education, answers to such questions lie with building and nurturing support and expertise among peers. This article presents a case study of how one school converted behavior improvement research to practice, using expert advice and six really smart moves.
