More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This is a comprehensive introduction to classroom management in elementary schools. It combines what research has to say about effective classroom management with knowledge culled from practice. This is done by integrating into the research discussions accounts of actual management practices and thinking of four case study teachers. The research discussions comprise approximately two-thirds of most chapters, and the case study materials approximately one third. A companion volume dealing with classroom management in secondary classrooms is now available for use in mixed classes enrolling both elementary and secondary majors. The case studies illustrate how four real teachers from different grade levels and school settings think about their management tasks. Readers learn their decisions, and then, through the use of discussion questions, have a chance to react to these decisions. Positive communication with students and parents is stressed throughout, but especially in chapters 5 and 11. The book recognizes that management demands vary as classrooms shift from on type of activity to another. Consequently, whole chapters are devoted to the management demands of each of these classroom activities: seatwork, groupworks, and recitations. 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.
From the Publisher
Beautifully Written- the author's clear, concise writing style and seamless way of weaving the case study material into the text has been widely praised.
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.

Great Book!
26 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book provides a lot of information for student teachers! It will also be a great resource during my first year teaching. It discusses main factors that a teacher/student teacher will see in their classroom and ways to eliminate them. Some topics include classroom management, meeting the needs of students with disabilities, and making learning more meaningful.

Could have been worse.
27 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book had a huge cough syrup stain in the back and over the second half of the pages in the book. I didnt remember reading this in the description but the receipt mentioned it. I ended up having to cut out some of the book that had the stain because the pages were barely able to be separated. I didnt give this a lower rating because it might have said this in the description and I just missed it. The book arrived relatively quickly.
