Synopsis
Effective Classroom Management is a fully updated edition of the best-selling guide for beginning teachers. While the fundamentals of classroom management have not changed, and indeed effective classroom management remains a key to productive learning, recent developments such as the Elton Report on discipline in schools, the introduction of the National Curriculum, and the implementation of the 1988 Education Reform Act have brought new concerns to the classroom.Robert Laslett and Colin Smith have restructured the text to emphasize the four principles--management, mediation, modification and monitoring--which are central to classroom practice. This second edition builds on the strengths of the first by retaining the practical advice, and adds to it by providing support and comment from more recent empirical studies and other literature on school discipline and classroom management. Effective Classroom Management is a user-friendly, accessible and practical guide which addresses one of the major concerns of new teachers.

Review
From reviews of the first edition:'The authors combine the virtues of good stimulating lecturing with obvious recent firsthand experience of classrooms ... every school would benefit from a copy ... good value for a student or probationer teacher - to derive comfort, common sense, new ideas and explanations, support, and a sense of proportion.' - Education
'For the supportive and yet challenging stance on which this book is based it would get a vote for Birmingham from me every time.' - Therapeutic Care and Education
(2nd Ed)'This is a very readable book that should be recommended reading for all members of staff. ..it is a very useful addition to the teacher's library and particularly helpful to the newly qualified teacher and those who are mentoring those teachers.' - Managing Schools Today
