SAFE STRATEGIES FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL EDUCATORS
Developed by Geoff Colvin, Ph.D. Behavior Specialist
Student anger and aggression is a major problem facing schools today. To reclaim their schools as safe places for learning, teachers and staff need effective, non-confrontational strategies for managing student aggression.
Dr. Geoff Colvin analyzes aggressive behavior and describes effective strategies for defusing it.
Designed for high school and middle school staff, these defusing strategies can be applied by anyone who works with students who display problem behavior.
Six vignettes demonstrate how problem behavior may be escalated or defused:
• | Managing off-task behavior |
• | Responding to provocative behavior |
• | Addressing disrespectful behavior |
• | Identifying and reducing agitation |
• | Establishing limits |
• | Disengaging from dangerous situations |
