Synopsis

We believe that to be a successful educator you need to become a top-notch manager, and this belief is confirmed from our decades of teaching experience. Through teaching, co-teaching, and observation, we have discovered that students can reach their ultimate potential in a classroom where the teacher has thoughtfully anticipated challenges to academic learning, behavioral issues, and transitions throughout the day. In a well-managed classroom, the teacher must set up structured systems and programs to manage and mentor students. When these are in place, students achieve success and are motivated to take responsibility for their learning and accept accountability for their actions. Similar to a GPS, Global Positioning System, a classroom that is well-managed provides a road map that allows teachers and students to navigate through the day in a productive and predictable manner. We embarked on a mission to pinpoint those intangible “things” that make the classroom a place where both teachers and students are actively engaged. This book is primarily written for teachers in the elementary to middle school grades. It is organized into sections that focus on the key areas of classroom environment, consistent routines, tried and true techniques, social skills, and resources for regular/special educators. Each topic also includes POSITIVES which emphasize its major benefits. It is our hope that this book will serve as your GPS. Great Practical Strategies for Student Success
