Implementation of a Social Skills Curriculum to Reduce Behavioral Problems of AfricanAmerican Boys in Elementary Classroom Settings. Foster, Evaline L., 2004: AppliedDissertation, Nova Southeastern University, Fischler School ofEducation and HumanServices. Peer Support Groups/Anger Management/Conflict Resolution/SocialSkills/Bullying/Teacher Student RelationshipsThis applied dissertation was designed to reduce the disruptive verbal and physicalbehaviors within the regular behavior enrichment classroom during the 2003-2004 schoolyear. From August 2002-May 2003, 18 home suspensions, 25 in-school suspensions, and85 office referrals due to extremely disruptive verbal and physical behaviors wererecorded for students enrolled in the regular education behavior enrichment classroom.The purpose of this applied dissertation was to modify the negative behaviors of studentsinto appropriate behaviors that would allow them to productively function academically,socially, and emotionally in the regular education classroom setting.The writer developed lesson plans and strategies to reduce the verbal and physicalbehaviors of students within the regular behavior enrichment classroom. Strategies taughtincluded (a) facilitation of peer support groups and instruction, (b) modeling, (c)reinforcement of conflict resolution skills, (d) self-management techniques, (e) angermanagement techniques, and (f) social skills lessons. This applied dissertation also hasthe potential to provide other educators with the strategies necessary to maintain positivebehaviors in the classroom.An analysis of data revealed a decreased number of verbal and physical antisocialbehaviors in students. Through this implementation, students learned how to betterself-manage their behaviors and use conflict resolution skills to solve controversial issuesThe presence of these factors helped to motivate students, improve behavior, increasecognitive developments levels, and strengthen parent/teacher relationships.

Classroom Management and Aggressive Behavior

I will like to describe my book on classroom management. The book defines classroom management as approaches used by teachers to maintain order during classroom lessons in the event of distractive behavior caused by students. My book gives account of the importance of classroom management, with particular attention addressed to aggressive behavior. Therefore, the role played by classroom management in ensuring that non-educational issues like aggressive behavior and other misconducts are delinked from a teacher’s lesson, are specifically presented in this publication.

In addressing classroom management, the book divides the management into three main components namely; the covenant management, content management, and conduct management. Therein, each of the mentioned components is described in detail where observable elements associated with effectual teaching practices are presented in a list. In retrospect, the book provides useful tips to the learning process and classroom management, the two being imperative.

With specific attention given to aggressive behaviors, my book defines this behavior as unwarranted act of violence against others or oneself, and is committed either verbally or physically. My book points out particular classroom management approaches that can be utilized by teachers to handle aggressive behavior. The approaches include preparedness for lessons, student motivation, initiating discipline effectively, creating conducive learning environment, creating self-esteem among student, and drawing an interactive lesson plan. The book however points out that teachers, depending on the situation may devise other approaches. Also notably clarified on this topic is that, classroom management approaches may differ from one teacher to the other.

Finally, my book addresses various ways that can be used to treat aggression. Aggression is described as treatable in three stages and these include immediate, behavioral, and long-term stages.

In the remote regions of Australia’s Northern Territory Indigenous Australians experience extreme disadvantage—in health, income, employment, education and access to the conditions for a good life. This book is about their plight, and how governments can deliver strategies to prevent the continuation of their disadvantage. Governments and institutions like the World Health Organisation have expressed intentions to ‘close the gaps’ that are represented by statistics on social disadvantage, poverty, and poor health. Policies with titles such as ‘closing the gap’ are much talked about in meetings and conferences. But there is little understanding of the causes of disadvantage. This book fills a gap in understanding of what creates disadvantage, and of how to achieve development. It revives the idea of the state as an active leader in creating development—a role incompatible with still dominant neo-liberal policies. It shows that, with the right state strategies, the aim of ‘no more gaps’ can become reality. No More Gaps analyses the regional impacts of free-market ideology that has dominated Australian government policy during the past thirty years. It argues that neo-liberal economic theories have produced rapid growth of obscene wealth and increased inequality. Growing gaps between rich and poor, between the well-served and the under-served, are prominent features of economic change in America, Australia, Britain, and a number of poor countries. No More Gaps advocates a return to economic development strategies that worked well in past, particularly in the thirty years from 1945 to 1975. But it does not simply look back to that time of stronger economic growth. It supports new economic approaches such as local food processing for food security. It promotes accounting for environmental impacts of business. It supports policies for reduced fossil fuel consumption. It advocates new industries that use sustainable energy sources. This book’s extensive cross-disciplinary critique of policies is unusual in an era of narrow knowledge specialisation. Its analysis ranges between local, regional, national and global levels. Few recent books attempt to integrate knowledge disciplines and strategic responses as ambitiously. The author presents a holistic focus on what’s required to overcome location-based disadvantage in Australia. Strategies to overcome extreme disadvantage in Australia provide a link between regional under-development and national macro-economic policy. This is shown in book’s analysis of Australian economic history.

No defense planning can be effective without a rigorous assessment of the future security environment. Futures of War is designed to give readers a comprehensive view of the future international security environment and policymakers a firm foundation for future defense planning. Author Sam J. Tangredi analyzes the perspectives of federal agencies, military services, war colleges, NGOs, public committees, think-tanks, and individual experts, to fashion a consensus assessment of the future of American national security in the years 2010-2035. His approach is completely unique in the highly individualistic field of futures research. Forty studies are evaluated using representative source content analysis to develop points of agreement or divergence, which in turn are subjected to validation by almost 400 other expert sources. Dissenting sources are identified for every point of agreement in order to ensure alternative viewpoints are heard. Both (or more) sides of the points of divergence are evaluated. Additionally, wild cards and unlikely events are detailed in order to determine the need for hedging strategies and to avoid the potential hazard of group-think among defense planners. The final product is a baseline planning scenario and hedging strategies. The book also discusses the varying techniques of futures analysis and the practical limits to the use of future research in policymaking. As concerns the study of the future security environment, Futures of War proves through its consensus technique that the whole can truly be greater than the sum of its parts.
