Synopsis

In  this  unit preservice educators are introduced to a wide range  of
models,  methods  and strategies for managing student behaviour,  with
particular  attention given to the management of students who  exhibit
behavioural and adjustment problems. The underlying theoretical  basis
of  each  approach is examined, along with a critical  review  of  its
efficacy  and  appropriateness in early childhood and  primary  school
contexts.  Due regard is also given to the congruence between  current
policies on student behaviour and the procedures recommended  in  each
of  the  approaches  covered. Support is provided in  the  process  of
developing a personal approach to the management of student behaviour.
