Cases in Behavior Management directly addresses the need of thought-stirring opportunities for students to apply and discuss the behavior management theories and practices on the uncertain and multifaceted terrain of real social problems.  It provides realistic, context-rich narratives of behavior problems and social conflicts that developing professionals can ponder, puzzle over, discuss, and even disagree on.

Each case consists of two parts: a quick description of the problem incident itself and in-depth coverage of the salient background information concerning the individuals involved, the immediate social context, the school setting surrounding that immediate context, and aspects of the community at large.  Exclusive to the market, this book features 32 cases that realistically portray behavior management issues faced by teachers, parents, and other caregivers. It includes a full range of classroom-based cases that have occurred at the preschool through secondary grade levels.
