About this title

Synopsis

Instructional Classroom Management: A Proactive Approach to Behavior Management offers a unique and practical introduction to instructionally-based behavior management in both the regular and special education classroom. The text critiques traditional approaches to classroom management, describes the basic concepts and comprehensive philosophy behind instructional classroom and behavior management, and asserts that the strategies for teaching and managing social behavior should be no different than those used to teach reading or mathematics.
Offering a methodical framework for linking instruction to classroom management, Instructional Classroom Management stresses that the most effective classroom management should be proactive and take place before behavior problems occur; provides innovative step-by-step general strategies and practical suggestions for implementing an instructional classroom management approach; and includes unique models for developing instructional classroom assessment, establishing a 180-day classroom management plan, managing existing behavior problems in 7 steps, and instituting school-wide discipline policies.
Chapter overviews, summaries, and activities highlight key points, while detailed figures and tables and examples of classroom dialogue enhance the text's narrative.
