Violence In the Classroom

The authors provide an overview of this special issue on preparing administrators and teachers to handle violence and problematic behaviors in schools This issue of Intervention in School and Clinic focuses on the topic of violence in the classroom. In addition to acquainting our readers with this area, the various articles also present curriculum and teaching models that can be used in integrated settings. I am pleased that Professors William N. Bender and Phillip J. McLaughlin, who have assembled an outstanding blend of both authors and topics, agreed to serve as guest editors of this issue. We are honored that Intervention is able to showcase the outstanding work of so many talented individuals. We hope you enjoy reading the articles, and we welcome your comments.—GW
