Help for Billy: A Beyond Consequences Approach to Helping Challenging Children in the Classroom

"In her new book, 'Help for Billy', Heather Forbes provides with deep insight a manual for parents and teachers addressing essential methods for managing the school-room behavior of the child with complex trauma. Based on concepts of the neuroscience of emotions and behavior, Forbes provides detailed, comprehensive, and logical strategies for both parent and teacher, with tables, outlines, and lists, focusing the information and making it easily applicable. She presents the essential concept of regulatory rather than behavioral dysfunction in the disruptive child, and provides a wealth of strategies for both the parent and teacher to apply to help the child to self-regulate. This groundbreaking book will be an invaluable resource for both parents and teachers of the disruptive child, and should be required reading for both."

~ Robert Scaer, MD

"'Help for Billy' is a must read for anyone looking to understand, support, and teach challenging and easily frustrated children. Heather writes with the knowledge of a professional and the heart of a parent."

~ Jenniffer Adkins
Parent to a traumatized child

"'Help for Billy' is a very inspiring, insightful, and practical book for parents and professionals who would like to work in partnership to help ensure the educational success for all the Billys we will encounter in our lifetime who have experienced trauma and are presenting with challenging behaviors in our classrooms. Trauma enters the lives of our children and families daily and in ways never dreamed imaginable. Heather Forbes' book, Help for Billy, provides parents and professionals with a practical and informative team approach to helping students who have and are experiencing trauma to have educational success. Her book presents staff and parents with real life insight and solutions for working with the 'unteachable child' by providing them with practical approaches, effective commonsense strategies, and tools that provide us with hope for the future of all the Billys of the world. 'Help for Billy' is a must read for all educators, administrators, and parents interested in making a difference in the lives of the 'unteachable child.'"

~ Winston B. Johnson, LCSW, ACSW
Director for Prevention/Intervention Services
Hartford Public Schools, Connecticut

"Help for Billy brings a compassionate voice to the thousands of children who attend every school in America who have been impacted by trauma, and the significant disadvantage that stress has on brain development. Heather clearly lays out the brain research and shows that we are trying to force square pegs into round holes."

~Jim Sporleder
Principal at Lincoln High School, Walla Walla, Washington

Tools for Teaching by Fred Jones

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Fundamental Skills of Classroom Management

All of our efforts to improve education eventually come down to the classroom. Policies and mandates must be translated into better teaching practices, or they are of no use.

Tools for Teaching describes the teaching practices of highly effective teachers - the "naturals." In addition, Dr. Jones has developed research-based methods of group management that are extremely cost-effective - that free the teacher to focus on instruction rather than discipline. Advanced skills of classroom management can produce dramatic increases in student learning while reducing teacher stress. Here are just a few examples of teaching tools that work.

Wasted Time Becomes Learning Time

A typical class period is not on task until five to seven minutes after the bell rings. In addition, a typical lesson transition takes five minutes. Common to both of these situations is dawdling. Students are expert time wasters. They have no vested interest in hustle. They know that as soon as the transition is over they will go back to work.

Responsibility Training teaches the entire class to save time rather than waste it. Responsibility Training insures that students are on task when the bell rings, and it gives the teacher 30 second lesson transitions. These two items alone can add 10 minutes of learning time to a 50 minute class period.

Passivity Becomes Activity

A common sight when observing classrooms is to see students just sitting while the teacher works out. Students are typically passive for over half of the class period. It is exhausting for a teacher to do five "matinees" a day. We call it "bop 'til you drop." Then during Guided Practice the teachers are met with hands waiving in the air - the same "helpless handraisers" every day. There has to be an easier way to teach a lesson.

Say, See, Do Teaching is another essential tool for teachers. It structures the lesson into a series of "Say, See, Do Cycles" which cause students to continually learn by doing. It becomes the students job to actively engage in learning activities while the teacher checks for understanding. No more Bop 'til You Drop.

The alternative to Meaning Business is "nag, nag, nag." Meaning Business deals with typical classroom disruptions. It is effective, low key and non-adversarial.

Meaning Business increases learning for those who need it most - the low achievers who spend so much class time "goofing off." With a little training, teachers can increase achievement for the bottom half of a class by as much as 50 percent while eliminating the majority of classroom disruptions.

The natural teachers are not working themselves to death because they know the easy way to get things done. Not surprisingly, however, teachers start their careers doing everything the hard way. They are rookies. What do you expect?

Unless someone shows these teachers the easy way to succeed, they will eventually conclude that exhaustion is an unavoidable part of the job. Rather than letting them burn out, far better to give them the teaching tools they need.

The Quality School

Dr. Glasser discusses how coercive management is the main problem in schools and suggests that we replace "bossing" that turns students and staff into adversaries, with a system of management that brings them closer together. He claims we must stop settling for minimal goals and start convincing students there is quality both in what they are asked to do and how they are asked to do it.
EXCERPTS
"Boss-teachers and administrators constantly lament that students are not motivated, but what they are actually saying is that they do not know how to persuade students to work. And as long as they continue to believe in coercion, they never will. When it comes to understanding motivation, boss-managers are looking for something that does not exist. But they keep looking because they, like almost everyone else, accept the external control theory. According to this theory, our behavior is almost always motivated by a stimulus that exists outside of ourselves."- William Glasser, M.D.

Great memoir opening our eyes to the struggles of foster youth (in a broader scope applying socio-economially disadvantaged youth in general) largely set in Red Bluff, CA. This book reiterates the importance of reading, adults believing in each child's unlimited potential, and the need that we are providing experiences to children that might be lacking in their lives (exposure to robust vocabulary we know but also less obvious areas such as what we offer for snacks in our classrooms)
