Review:

From reviews of the book: "The writing is on level and easy to comprehend. His work is research based, and supported by real-life examples...The key strengths of the project include research based text as it relates to 'practical classroom management,' supported by examples from real classrooms that many educators can, or may in the future, relate to. The author provides the information in a logical sequence that is fitting for any classroom management course." --John Barbato, University of South Florida "[The text] has examples and forms that I encourage my students to keep...Using this text, preservice teachers are exposed to strategies that are practiced in classrooms and problems associated with the dynamics of implementation." --Antwuan Stinson, Alabama State University
