In the early 1980s there had been a marked increase in the application of behavioural methods in schools. However, much of this work was weak conceptually and limited in its remit. Behaviour analysis has more to offer education than 'smarties' and time-out. Originally published in 1986, this collection of twenty papers, many of them experimental, serves to demonstrate the power of behaviour analysis in a wide variety of applications. The editors stress the importance of antecedent control, as well as consequence management strategies, and illustrate their relevance in solving problems in everyday situations at school and in the home. The Editors, whose own work is well represented in this collection, are acknowledged as leading researchers in this field.

The expert contributors to this book make sense of the different approaches to understanding pupil behavior in schools, providing a comprehensive overview thorough discussion of key topics. The book covers: * Cultural issues such as ethnic diversity and the underachievement of boys * Psychological perspectives, including a range of behavioral models * Medical conditions, including AD/HD and autism * Sociological issues, specifically the challenges of including pupils whose behavior is hard to manage.

Providng an overview of the issues crucial to understanding inclusion and behavior management in schools, this book discusses:Policy at national, local authority and school level; Inclusive practices in mainstream settings and Issues such as race, ethnicity school disciplines and exclusion.

The authors of this comprehensive text discuss the root causes of disruptive behavior, tackle assessment issues and develop effective intervention strategies that will be of practical use to teachers and other educators. While theroising behavior managment from a range of perspective: psychodynamic, behavioral and scio-cultural, the authors remain firmly focussed on practical issues of policy making, assessment and intervention and addtress a wide range of related isssues, such as: policy in relation to behavior in school at local, national and international level; cultural concerns, particularly race, ethnicity, school discipline and exclusion; medicale persectives of topical interest such as AD/HD, autism and diet; assessment at district, community, classroom and individual level and how these underpin theory. This book will appeal to anyone for whom behavior in school is a key concern, including student teachers, teacher educators, senior school managers and practising teachersundertaking further study inthe field

Providng an overview of the issues crucial to understanding inclusion and behavior management in schools, this book discusses:

* Policy at national, local authority and school level

* Inclusive practices in mainstream settings

* Issues such as race, ethnicity school disciplines and exclusion

The challenges posed by the behavior of some pupils can only be properly addressed if support is extended beyond the classroom. Linking theory and practice, this book outlines a range of assessment and intervention techniques at:

* District and community level

* School level

* Classroom level

* Individual level
