He currently teaches grades 8 and 9 and special education at Alexander Junior High School in the North Battleford (Saskatchewan) Public School Division and also conducts in-service programs.  This unique hands-on resource gives new and experienced teachers at all levels 125 proven management techniques and 64 reproducibles for meeting the day-to-day challenges encountered in the classroom and school environments. For easy use, all of these tested materials are presented in a simple problem\/solution format, printed in a big 8-1\/4\" x 11\" size ready for photocopying, and organized into seven sections focusing on seven different areas of concern: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBehavior Control.\u003c\/b\u003e Section 1 provides 40 techniques and reproducibles to help you deal with problems most teachers see daily. For example, \u003cb\u003eDueling Pens\u003c\/b\u003e is a method to quickly stop a squabble in the classroom, and \u003cb\u003eBring in Mom\u003c\/b\u003e is an effective way to deal with a disruptive child who resists all other efforts aimed at correcting his or her actions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eReinforcement \u0026amp; Reward Systems\u003c\/b\u003e.

In Section 3, you'll find 41 innovative techniques and reproducibles to help students stay on task. One of these, \u003cb\u003eThe Stick Jar\u003c\/b\u003e, keeps students on their toes because they never know when their name will be drawn from the jar! Another, \u003cb\u003eVocabulary Chains\u003c\/b\u003e, is a novel way to heighten students' interest in learning the words and language of any subject.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeat \u0026amp; Fun Things to Do in School\u003c\/b\u003e.
