Synopsis:

Highly accessible and user-friendly, this book focuses on helping K–12 teachers increase their use of classroom management strategies that work. It addresses motivational aspects of teacher consultation that are essential, yet often overlooked. The Classroom Check-Up is a step-by-step model for assessing teachers' organizational, instructional, and behavior management practices; helping them develop a menu of intervention options; and overcoming obstacles to change. Easy-to-learn motivational interviewing techniques are embedded throughout. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes 20 reproducible forms, checklists, and templates.

This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas.
