I am looking for some good Special Education / Emotional impairments / behavior management books?

I am about to start a job teaching emotionally impaired boys in 2nd and 3rd grade in a very urban school. I have a BS in Elem. Ed and an MA in Special Ed: Learning disabilities. I am looking for some really good books on positive and effective classroom management for Emotionally impaired (EI) students. Specifically I am looking for books that give ideas and strategies that have been shown to work, not just explain what EI is. Thanks

Oh and I know WHERE to find books, I am looking for suggestions of specific titles that you have found to be good.
