Synopsis

′This is the best book I′ve read on classroom discipline. Classroom management and discipline are tough topics for teachers. Marcia Tate includes fantastic ideas in a non-threatening manner′ - Kathryn McCormick, Math Teacher, Gahanna Middle School East, OH

′Teachers of any grade level, Pre-K through adult, can benefit from this book. It is an easy read with useful ideas that are backed up by quality research. Teachers can read about a strategy very quickly, learn why it is important, discover the steps for implementation, and begin reflecting on how to apply the strategy to their own classroom′ - Denise Leonard, Beginning Teacher, Support and Assessment Staff Development Teacher, Torrance Unified School District, CA

Classroom management is the number one issue for both new teachers and experienced educators. Best-selling author Marsha L. Tate shows that with appropriate planning, a classroom manager can reduce learning problems and increase academic achievement. She demonstrates how to cultivate a physical classroom environment conducive to learning, develop a proactive classroom management plan, deliver brain-compatible lessons, and deal with chronic behaviour problems.

Providing easy-to-implement strategies, this reader-friendly guide covers the use of lighting, music, humour, constructive conversations, movement, classroom rituals, and parental support to actively engage students in a positive way.

Each chapter follows a consistent structure and contains:

• A clear definition of the strategy

• The strategy′s theoretical framework

• Numerous sample classroom applications

• Reflective activities for creating your own strategies

A renowned speaker, Tate has taught over 125,000 teachers, parents, and community leaders worldwide. Designed to complement her other best-selling books, this new work is sure to be an essential resource for all teachers.
