Comprehensive Membership Benefit of the National Association for
the Education of Young Children in 1999), Challenging Behavior in
Young Children (winner of a Texty Award for textbook excellence in
2007), Challenging Behavior in Elementary and Middle School (a
Texty winner in 2009), and a series of webinars and guides on
bullying for the Nova Scotia Department of Education (2013).
Barbara Kaiser has taught at Acadia University in
Wolfville, Nova Scotia, and at Concordia University and College
Marie-Victorin in Montreal, QC, Canada. In addition to presenting
workshops and keynote speeches on challenging behavior all over the
world, Barbara has acted as a consultant for Mr. Rogers’ Family
Communications, Inc., and was the chief consultant for Facing the
Challenge, an instructional DVD based on Challenging Behavior in
Young Children produced by the Devereux Early Childhood Initiative
in 2007. She holds a master’s degree in educational administration
from McGill University and founded and served as the director of
two child care centers and an after-school program.
