Synopsis
Every class has a range of students from those who are always cooperative to those who predictably fight the teacher for control every step of the way. In the most challenging classes, this oppositional and defiant student is on the verge of preventing him/herself and many of the other students from focusing on learning. Defying The Defiance will provide the reader with at least 155 insights and strategies to help the classroom teacher find effective ways to avoid disruption and increase cooperation from the most resistant students. As you begin to understand the underlying causes and dynamics of opposition, you will be able to develop additional strategies that will lead to more classroom success and increased satisfaction for both the defiant student and the teacher! Caregivers will also find this book provides insights that are useful both at home and at school.
