Behavior Modification

Over at Intervention Central Jim Wright is publishing lots (and lots!) of useful resources about various teaching matters, including behavior management. Mr. Wright has assembled tips and techniques that go beyond the usual in one very important way: They are expressly based on research!

Intervention Central offers free tools and resources to help school staff and parents to promote positive classroom behaviors and foster effective learning for all children and youth. The site was created by Jim Wright, a school psychologist and school administrator from Central New York.

Visit to check out newly posted academic and behavioral intervention strategies, download publications on effective teaching practices, and use tools that streamline classroom assessment and intervention.
