Challenging Behavior in Elementary and Middle School Paperback - 2008 - 1st Edition

In the 18 years they've worked together, Barbara Kaiser and Judy Sklar Rasminsky-whose book "Challenging Behavior in Young Children" won a 2007 Texty Award for textbook excellence-have written a series of books unique in education. Combining Barbara's three decades as a teacher and education consultant with Judy's writing skills, their texts bring readers solid research and practical strategies in a reader-friendly style. Barbara has presented workshops and keynotes on challenging behavior across North America; acted as chief consultant for "Facing the Challenge," an instructional DVD based on "Challenging Behavior in Young Children "(Devereux Early Childhood Initiative, 2007)"; and" advised the Addressing Youth Violence Project for Western Nova Scotia. She has taught at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, and Concordia University in Montreal. Judy, a freelance writer specializing in education and health, joined Barbara in writing "The Daycare Handbook" (1991). In 1999, their bestselling "Meeting the Challenge" was selected by the National Association for the Education of Young Children as a Comprehensive Membership Benefit. Judy's articles have appeared in the "Reader's Digest," the "Los Angeles Times," and other magazines, newspapers, and textbooks. In 2004, she won several awards for her contributions to a history of the Clinical Center at the National Institutes of Health in Washington, DC.
