Synopsis

The purpose of Effective Classroom Management: Models and Strategies for Today's Classrooms is to provide a synthesis of these changing views of classroom management.  The book presents 12 models of classroom management that fall into three distinct categories: Classroom Management as Discipline, Classroom Management as a System, and Classroom Management as Instruction.  This book can be used for staff-development programs for inservice teachers.  It provides a foundation for selecting a model to follow or for the development of an individual classroom-management plan.  The content is applicable for teachers and preservice teachers at all levels - elementary, middle, and high school.

The following features make Effective Classroom Management: Models and Strategies for Today's Classrooms teacher friendly:

• Information and chapter activities are directly tied to Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) standards.
• Tips from the Field appear throughout the book.  These tips offer sage advice from practicing teachers.
• Chapter Activities are designed to help teachers reflect on the model presented, develop portfolio material, and develop a personal philosophy of classroom management.
