Authentic Classroom Management: Creating a Learning Community and Building Reflective Practice, 3/e

by Barbara Larrivee

 

With a focus on building a respectful learning community, this new edition emphasizes authentic communication, teacher reflection, and student cooperation as paths to developing a productive classroom environment.  The book encourages teachers to view problems as opportunities to co-create better solutions, build relationships, and teach their students new coping and self-management strategies.  Its proactive solutions give teachers specific ways to engage with students that address underlying reasons for student misbehavior.  Through more than 100 reflective exercises, readers have the opportunity to develop their skills by questioning and engaging with the book.  Easy to read and practical, this updated resource continues to pull theory and practice together to provide realistic and collaborative management options for teachers in today’s diverse classrooms.
