In this book you will improve the instructional strategies you are
currently using and learn new ones to add to your repertoire.
Accomplishing this task will provide you the variety that will
better match different kinds of objectives with corresponding
instruction and help you deal more successfully with the diverse
needs of students in your class. Possessing a strong range of
instructional strategies will also give you the flexibility to make
your classes more interesting and brain-compatible. Since having a
number of different strategies will keep your students more
meaningfully engaged in the instructional process, student
misbehavior will tend to decrease thereby minimizing your stress
level. The book explains when it would be most appropriate to use
each strategy and includes the theory behind the strategy and how
it can be implemented. Coaching rubrics allow teachers to assess
their current mastery of skills and, when necessary, improve
performance."

teacher practices when delivering questions and responding to
students' answers and emphasizes how to teach students to think

Educator or Bully? offers a comprehensive approach to classroom
management for both novice and veteran teachers who are interested
in examining their current classroom management performance,
especially with respect to how it reflects the characteristics of
the 21st century classroom. Practices presented are based on sound
educational theory. There is an emphasis on the responsibility the
student should have in successful classroom management. Part I
covers the guidelines that deal with everyday classroom management
interactions with a focus on contemporary approaches. These
chapters discuss preventive measures followed by reactive
procedures that teachers can implement once problems have occurred.
Punishment and logical consequences are distinguished and educative
techniques in handling misbehavior are demonstrated. Part I
concludes with a thorough consideration regarding how to organize
and maintain the physical classroom environment and how to prepare
for the beginning of school. Part II reviews students through
teacher-centered strategies (systems) to deal with diverse
classroom needs. These strategies are tailored so that the least
intrusive to those in which the teacher has more control reflect
21st century attributes.
A Blueprint for Preparing Teachers provides a plan to produce high
quality teachers who will remain in the profession and continue to
grow throughout their careers. The plan includes three-components
which must all be incorporated for a teacher education program to
be successful: university curriculum and instruction that are

districts, and the community; and meaningful professional
development. This book offers procedures to help facilitate the
implementation of each of the three components.

Beginning with guiding teachers in establishing a positive and
supportive learning environment for student achievement, Academic
Success then presents a review of behavioral, constructivist, and
cognitive learning theories. These theories are reflected within
the four main categories with which teachers must constantly deal,
these being motivation; goals/objectives and feedback; delivering
original learning; and reinforcement. Academic Success provides
numerous examples of classroom applications that show how the
theories can be implemented. This book also offers a case study
that demonstrates how with one teacher's initiative, learning
theories were applied to actively involve students within a school,
school district, and beyond.

By integrating the best of current research and practice in
curriculum planning this book presents that comprehensive topic in
a manageable form. Examples throughout are representative of
different grade levels and subjects areas. It should be understood
at the outset that the content offered for curriculum planning is
not a rigid prescriptive formula but a careful and purposeful
thought process that must be considered to obtain optimal results.
In addition to developing knowledge about curriculum and
instructional planning (what teachers should know), this book
offers an innovative method for translating that knowledge into
performance (what teachers are able to do). Knowledge is
implemented by the use of coaching rubrics, sets of criteria for
developing performance. Though readers will receive a thorough
background in the planning process just from the content itself,
its potential will be fully realized when readers also use the
coaching rubrics.
