Overview

The screamers, fighters, practical jokers, rabble-rousers and all-around troublemakers need instruction, not a holiday. Use this comprehensive guide to create a successful alternative to ineffective out-of-school exclusion programmes. The authors provide a blueprint for creating an in-school exclusion programme that gives students the best opportunity to overcome their challenges and find success. They explain how to create structure, use motivation and teach social skills so students remain engaged and connected to school. Several behavioural situations that typically lead to exclusion, including bullying, stealing and fighting, are highlighted and linked to specific social skills that address those behaviours. Checklists for setting up an effective in-school exclusion classroom, sample writing activities and worksheets for excluded students and an index of social skills with their behavioural steps are included on CD-rom.

A great resource to discipline rather then punish students, should be in every school principal's library. - WhiteAfrican, Amazon More than half (57 percent) of teachers believe poor student behavior is at least somewhat of a problem. Majority of these teachers believe SEL is a solution. Of the teachers who list poor student behavior as at least somewhat of a problem, three in four (78 percent) say SEL is very important and 79 percent think it will improve student performance. - The Missing Piece: A Report of CASEL (Civic Enterprises, 2016) This is an awesome find. We are purchasing several for our school. - Hope, Amazon
