Author Description

Have you ever been faced with a student who is defiant, oppositional, in-your-face and you momentarily lose your ability to handle the situation as well as you would like? The Give Em' Five approach has been used with much success by classroom and special education teachers, administrators, counselors and support staff across North America. This book places at your fingertips 30 case examples of challenging moments and provides specific recommendations for how to handle different situations with students who are attention-seeking, manipulative, apathetic or hostile. Collectively, these cases can help you and your colleagues to gain fresh ideas for how to handle those moments when students need our feedback, but the right words aren't always there for us. In particular, this book will help you gain fresh ideas for dialoguing with students who respond to you with different intensity: - Level 1 Compliance - Level 2 Moderate Noncompliance, and - Level 3 Severe Noncompliance
