Children who have conduct disorder have normal intelligence but often under-perform. It is not a good
idea to be flexible about rules, it should be clear rules & routines for the children
Children need to know where they stand and having clear rules and routines makes it ... provide choices
by asking what they like doing & would like to do

child with conduct disorder and other
children in the room. Unsafe materials
such as scissor, knifes and needle

and have enough spaces for the child
and other children to move around

who have conduct disorder. The skills that teachers should know are:
 Know well about needs of the children with conduct disorder
 Improve children’s coping and problem-solving skills
 Help the children to identify how to think and act more positively to perform
better on the test, rather than focusing on negative thoughts about him or herself

activities

stories and reviewing the days schedule before going in to class

15. CHANGING TEACHING STRATEGIES
Communication with parents
Strong, daily communication between parents
and teachers serves another purpose as well –
to exchange ideas and strategies that work. If a
particular strategy has been effective at school,
parents can implement it at home as well.
Likewise, when a parent finds a particular
technique that is working, it should be shared http://www.flickr.com/photos/innovationschool/8048252206/sizes/m/in/photostream/
with the school.
