Description

 

This jam-packed new edition features more than 200 activities to help teachers recognize and respond to the daily needs of their students, and distract, refocus, and provide a "hit of fun" in the busy school day.

New material in this practical book explores novel ways to inspire students, as well as to build and practice important life skills. New "Tech Too" motivators raise awareness, understanding, and appreciation of technology and support research techniques, communication skills, cognition, and memory. "Stress Attack" motivators are perfect for those moments when stress, anxiety, frustration, boredom, or even anger get in the way of positive behaviour — both inside the classroom and out in the world. Based on authentic theraputic disciplines, teachers and students alike can use these simple strategies to meet daily challenges and defuse negative situations, and get back on the track of teaching and learning.
