Solution-Focused Brief Therapy: An Interventional Approach to Improving Negative Student Behaviors
Vallaire-Thomas, Lola; Hicks, Jamilah; Growe, Roslin
Journal of Instructional Psychology, v38 n4 p224-234 2011
Inappropriate behaviors of elementary and middle school students are many times extremely difficult to change. These behaviors tend to be supported by reinforcement within the environment. When manifested in the classroom, these undesirable actions become the focus of negativity which translates into disciplinary problems and ultimately discipline referrals by the teacher. This longitudinal study will investigate the potential impact of a program designed to reduce the discipline referral rate of students displaying negative behaviors in the classroom.
