The fact that it is American doesn′t bother me at all. What bothers me more is that the fact that it is American will be used as an excuse by some ′educators′ in the UK to at best ignore the book and at worst attempt to ridicule it.
So - all good stuff, in a nutshell; a book which is basically about empowering children to have a say in their own learning. Lady Plowden must be cheering in her grave′ - Nurturing Potential
Tomorrow′s leaders will be reflections of today′s teachers. The ideal classroom consists of a positive relationship between teacher and students producing a harmonious environment resulting in beneficial, mutual fulfillment. In this empowering new book, Patricia Sequeira Belvel and Marcia Jordan demonstrate successful methods to achieve tranquility, while transforming managerial teachers into leaders in the classroom. Educators are enlightened by classroom and personal "connections" enabling the teacher to be immersed in real-life classroom situations and encouraging the reader to create a meaningful connection from their personal experiences.
Key topics that help guide the readers through this transformation are:
· Intrinsic motivation and personal beliefs and values as aids to making the shift from manager to leader:
- Prevention strategies creating a caring community of learners
- Temporary intervention techniques that effectively differentiate between discipline and punishment
-Problem-solving strategies to help the student take initiative in creating constructive solutions for all
Rethinking Classroom Management is an innovative guide in which these resourceful authors illustrate an approach, which has been used by successful educators for years, enabling teachers to evolve effectively into leaders and to create classrooms where students are more self-managing, demonstrating mutual respect, self-esteem, and responsibility.
