About this title

Synopsis

This is a comprehensive introduction to classroom management in elementary schools. It combines what research has to say about effective classroom management with knowledge culled from practice. This is done by integrating into the research discussions accounts of the actual management practices and thinking of four case study teachers. The research discussions comprise approximately two-thirds of most chapters, and the case study materials approximately one-third. A companion volume dealing with classroom management in secondary classrooms is now available for use in mixed classes enrolling both elementary and secondary majors.
