About this title

Synopsis

This book addresses a growing national focus on improving teacher performance by sharpening clroom management s. The 160-page guide identifies Ten Critical S teachers need for engaging students in productive learning while managing their clrooms effectively. The book gives K-12 school teachers (and their administrators and coaches) concrete, transferable techniques for engaging students more effectively and for improving learning overall.<P>Based on the authors' 100-plus years of collective teaching experience and 1000's of workshops and seminars, this guide explores the Ten Critical S with examples, checklists, how-to's, self-tests, strategies, and other useful techniques for the first-time teacher or the seasoned educator. <P> Meant to be read in any order, the chapters weave true stories of teacher and student success through charts with examples, helpful suggestions, and illustrations of what each of the ten essential clroom management s looks like and sounds like. <P> No matter whether the teacher is in a lab, a clroom, at a work bench, on a field trip, in any region of the country--these management s apply wherever learning takes place, adds co-author Gary Forlini. The key to the success of the strategies [in Cl Acts ] is that they are immediate and do-able. Once aware of the elements of a certain skill, a teacher can apply it right away, the very next day. Most teachers already perform many of these s, says author Annette Brinkman, but with varying degrees of effectiveness. What we do in this book is provide the tools for teachers to grow in very specific and measurable ways. Now they can chart their own progress at their own pace, focusing on the best practices that will produce the surest results for them. The s and strategies outlined in Cl Acts are integral parts of the authors' work in training administrators and teachers across the country.
