The Incredible 5-Point Scale

In this DVD, Kari Dunn Buron and Mitzi Curtis discuss the highlights of their popular book by the same title. Focusing on their successful use of the 5-point scale, the authors share how this type of scale helps students control their emotional reactions to everyday events. From obsessions and yelling, to hitting or making hurtful statements to classmates, the authors share how to work with students to break down a given behavior. In the process, students identify the problem and come up with alternative, positive behaviors at each level of the scale.
