Teachers need two kinds of information about children's mental health issues. First, they need to have an understanding of the different mental health disorders that affect children and adolescents and to understand how these disorders manifest within the classroom environment. Secondly, they need to know and utilize teaching methods that have been shown to be effective for individuals who have emotional and/or behavioral problems. This paper, in slide format, explains clear actions educators can take to improve the experience of students with emotional and behavioral problems.
I recently added a new presentation to the website, Adopting Evidence-Based Teaching Methods for Students who have Emotional/Behavioral Problems. This is a PDF of a talk I first presented at the Education Minnesota 2014 conference. It provides an overview of teaching methods that result in improved academic performance and reduced behavioral difficulties.
