The only text that takes a decision-making model approach to
classroom management. It provides teachers with a very practical
system to influence students to choose to behave productively and
to strive for academic success. This widely used text presents an
array of decision-making options that guide teachers in developing
positive, pro-social classroom learning environments through
relationship building, effective teaching strategies, and
deliberate structuring of the classroom environment. The text also
provides sets of principles to intervene when students are not
focused in they way should be and to help them choose more
productive behaviors. The text also addresses working within the
classroom and with families and other school resources to help
students who exhibit chronic behavior problems. Thoroughly revised
and updated, Principles of Classroom Management: A Professional
Decision-Making Model, 7th Edition, includes a much stronger focus
on relationship building as a core activity in all phases of
teaching(See new Chapter 7 as well as Chapters 3, 4, 5, 10, and 11)
increased attention to the principles of motivation and their
application in helping students to set high expectations for
themselves and to believe they can achieve them(See new Chapter 7
as well as Chapters 3, 4, 5, 10, and 11) greater coverage of the
knowledge teachers need to develop about cultural differences
(Throughout the text) much more coverage of the challenges posed by
new technologies, including cyber-bullying, cyber-cheating, and
sexting (See Chapters 2 and 3) a variety of new cases as well as
pre and post-chapter reflective activities (New iterative cases are
included at the end of Chapters 1, 4, 7, and 11 and new cases are
also embedded in Chapters 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 10.) From reviews of
the book: "The text provides a very comprehensive view of classroom
management that builds hierarchically, logically, and
strategically. . . . The text provides not only the skills for
effective classroom management . . ., but [it] includes a
conceptual and theoretical perspective that is comprehensive and
coupled with numerous examples and case studies that clarify and
strengthen." -Marilyn Howe, Clarion University of Pennsylvania "I
really like the way in which the authors engage readers from the
beginning in a realistic conversation about the influence and
importance of handling behaviour problems at all levels." -Eleanor
Wilson, University of Virginia
