Five Universal Principles of Positive Behavior

Dr. Annemieke Golly has identified five universal principles for managing in-class behaviors of children with challenging behaviors: being respectful, modeling behaviors, having clear expectations, maintaining routines, and dealing with chronic misbehaviors. She illustrates how to implement these principles in the context of a school-wide positive behavior support system. In addition, Dr. Golly looks at the two main areas of chronic misbehaviors: attention seeking and escape/avoidance behaviors and shows how to identify and work with them.
