Book Description
From the Publisher
The major change is the addition of a companion volume entitled, SECONDARY CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT. This allows students in mixed classes (elementary and secondary majors) to choose the book that corresponds to their teaching level. Also, this edition has a new chapter on managing children with severe behavioral problems. Updating has, of course, been done throughout the text.
Communication Focus- positive communication with students and parents is stressed throughout but especially in Chapters 5 and 11.
Matches Management to Activites-the book recognizes that management demands vary as
classrooms shift from one type of activity to another.Consequently, whole chapters are devoted to the specific management demands of the following classroom activities: seatwork, groupwork, and recitations.
Multiple Markets- in addition to being a core text for Classroom Management courses, the book's, size, price, and its companion volume allow it to be used as part of a customized teaching package in any course in which classroom management is a major topic. This is often the case in courses with titles such as General Methods of Teaching, Teaching Strategies, or Classroom Instruction and Management.
