About this title

Synopsis

The Teacher's Essential Guide to Classroom Management offers classroom teachers concise, effective solutions to the most common instructional challenges they face. These solutions are based on a combination of research and Jim's own experience as a public school teacher who gets up every morning and works with his own students. Classroom management is about not only creating an effective classroom environment but reducing teachers' stress, increasing productivity - for both teachers and students -- and ensuring a safe, equitable environment committed to the proposition that all kids can learn and succeed.
