The purpose of Literacy Instruction for Students with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders: Research-Based Interventions for Classroom Practice is to provide educators with effective, research-based interventions to improve the literacy skills of students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) in K-12 classrooms. This book identifies, defines, and describes a number of research-based literacy interventions, and discusses their effectiveness as supports for students with EBD. Also included are examples of and guidance for how educators can implement the interventions in the classroom. Topics on integrating the use of technology-based instruction, culturally and linguistically diverse learners, and considerations for working with students with EBD in alternative educational settings are discussed as well.

A step-by-step guide for educators to understanding students with emotional/behavioral disorders, applying instructional interventions, and managing the classroom. Discusses principles of reinforcement, promoting positive social interactions, and dealing with specific behaviors and disorders.

This text provides educators with practical interventions grounded in best practice that work with the most challenging students. Effective Classroom Practices covers assessment for eligibility, instructional planning and management, and best practices in the prevention and management of student problem behavior at the school, classroom and individual level. Interventions for Specific Populations examines students with EBD teachers are likely to encounter in the classroom with ADHD, disruptive behavior disorders, pervasive developmental disorders, and other disorders of childhood and adolescence. Consultation and Collaboration explores the role of the EBD teacher as a collaborative partner, working with families and other professionals.

This book provides educators with practical, simple step-by-step strategies to address serious problem behaviors in school settings, framing interventions within a tiered system focused on prevention and positive approaches.

To ensure that all students receive quality instruction, Teaching Students with High-Incidence Disabilities prepares preservice teachers to teach students with learning disabilities, emotional behavioral disorders, intellectual disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity, and high functioning autism. It also serves as a reference for those who have already received formal preparation in how to teach special needs students. Focusing on research-based instructional strategies, Mary Anne Prater gives explicit instructions and includes models throughout in the form of scripted lesson plans. The book also has a broad emphasis on diversity, with a section in each chapter devoted to exploring how instructional strategies can be modified to accommodate diverse exceptional students. Real-world classrooms are brought into focus using teacher tips, embedded case studies, and technology spotlights to enhance student learning.

"This book provides pre-service special educators, school psychologists, school administrators, and behavior specialists with a solid understanding of the key issues associated with providing support for students with EBD. It further provides highly practical methods for working effectively with these students in a variety of settings-from the general education classroom to specialized intervention programs. With the goal of helping students develop school behaviors that promote academic and behavioral success, this resource carefully examines key assumptions to consider when working with this student population; major psychological issues students experiencing EBD may face; key methods for providing teacher-student and peer relationships that support psychological health and academic engagement for these students; and methods for developing specialized interventions to support students with EBD. This comprehensive textbook is focused on helping the reader develop a conceptual framework for supporting students with EBD, a better understanding of the nature of EBD, and strategies for implementing research-based methods and interventions when helping these students"--

This book is essential reading for stakeholders invested in inclusive instruction for students with emotional disturbance (ED). Research and policy-based recommendations are provided, as are resources for school-based practitioners and parents/guardians alike.
