The FAST Method:
 Reducing Problem Behaviors in the Classroom, Grades 7-12
  
  
  By Iris Educational Media
  

   By combining the principles of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports with a Functional Behavioral Assessment, teachers learn to respond to misbehavior appropriately and to set the stage for building positive relationships with students. The FAST Method video (running time: 18 min.) features four vignettes that first show how a teacher's response can escalate student misbehavior, and then show how a "FAST" response can de-escalate the same behavior. Six extra practice vignettes give teachers the chance to apply the FAST Method in responding to typical challenging behaviors in the classroom.

Classroom Discipline
and Management

  

 

By Clifford H. Edwards

 

This text is designed to help teachers explore approaches to classroom discipline and emphasizes informed decision-making, focusing on providing teachers an understanding of the assumptions behind a disciplinary approach, as well as the theory and practical applications of that approach. The new 5th edition looks closely at the extent to which a particular theory or approach is designed to either prevent or correct discipline problems -- an aspect of discipline that is often ignored. Another basic consideration throughout this new edition is the dramatic increase in diverse student populations and the teacher's role in helping these children learn efficiently and effectively.
