Overview

"Succeeding With Difficult Students offers step-by-step instructions for dealing with your most challenging students. Designed for school counselors and teachers who employ counseling skills in their daily interactions, it shows how to reach students who are needy, hostile, unmotivated, bored, withdrawn, inarticulate, manipulative, or attention seeking." "Most school personnel haven't been prepared for the tremendous challenges that exist in schools today: gang activity, violence, sexual abuse, addictions, and obstructiveness. Based on established research and extensive interviews with counselors in the field, this new book provides counselors and other school personnel with a model for understanding resistant, unmotivated, and otherwise difficult students. Includes a number of practical strategies for changing established dysfunctional behavior patterns." "Shows how to define who your most difficult students are and why; understand your students' actions within their particular cultural, peer, and familial contexts; discover how you can look inward to break through inaccurate perceptions that may interfere with your ability to be more helpful; challenge yourself to work in more flexible, creative ways; and find ways to work with difficult colleagues. Succeeding With Difficult Students is an essential resource for school counselors, teachers, principals - anyone who interacts on a regular basis with difficult students."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
