Synopsis

This text is a companion to Wienstein and Mignano's "Elementary Classroom Management". The book is a core text in classroom management courses for secondary majors and can be assigned with the elementary text for courses enrolling both elementary and secondary majors. Like its companion volume, it combines what research has to say about effective classroom management with practical knowledge culled from real teachers at different grade levels and in different subject areas. This is done by integrating into the research discussions case studies of four practising teachers. The research discussions comprise approximately two-thirds of most chapters and the case studies one-third.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Stressing the need to build caring, supportive relationships with and among students, Middle and Secondary Classroom Management: Lessons from Research and Practice offers research-based guidance on effective classroom management. It addresses current concerns about student motivation and helps prospective and beginning teachers develop a philosophy of classroom management that focuses on building connections with students and creating safe, caring classrooms. By integrating the thinking and the actual management practices of four real secondary teachers into discussions of research-based management principles, this introductory text helps readers connect theories with actual results. Further, the text demonstrates how real teachers can adapt to any circumstance--physical room constraints, curriculum requirements, challenging behaviors--and still be successful.
