Module 1: The Roots of Agression

In this module we review the work and the wonders of Gerald Patterson’s Coercion Theory. Patterson’s research on aggression in children (and everybody else for that matter) needs to be understood by the masses. This module is your full-course meal on how aggression develops and persists in school-age children.

Module 2: Stuff That Does Not Work

If you’ve worked in the school setting, you understand the beauty and the banality of the school calendar. It is beautiful because of all the breaks—but it is also banal because of all the breaks. We simply do not have any time in the school year to waste on practices that don’t work. To learn more about the above modules and other methods of student behavior training, enroll in the ASPEN course today!

This and much more awaits you.
