Defusing Disruptive Behavior in the Classroom

"The goal of Colvin''s work is teacher fluency in their first response to behavior. Every career teacher needs to be equipped with the concepts in this book."
-Krista D. Parent, Superintendent
South Lane School District, Cottage Grove, OR

"Geoff Colvin provides teachers a set of very useful, clear, and sensible tools to manage the behavior of a very important, often-overlooked contributor to their classroom environment: themselves."
-Mike McCornack, Technology Coordinator/Choral Director
Willamette High School, Eugene, OR

"Colvin empowers teachers with specific, practical, research-based strategies to prevent problem behaviors from occurring and to respond effectively when problems do occur. Each strategy is grounded not only in applied behavior analytic techniques, but also respectful approaches to fostering more positive student-teacher interactions."
