What  Administrators Can Do to Promote Positive Student Behavior

This electronic guide describes prevention practices that K-8 public school administrators have found to be effective in accelerating school performance, increasing readiness for learning, and reducing problem behaviors. Creating a safe school environment requires, among other things, preventive measures for children's behavioral and emotional problems. This guide derives from six different research partnerships between public schools and universities across the United States. Each team focused on students with -- and at risk of developing --emotional and behavioral disorders. Examples of prevention strategies from each of these projects are included throughout this document. Contact information for each project can be accessed through the links below, and at the end of the document.
