PROACTIVE Classroom Management

This gold mine of teacher-developed and approved strategies goes beyond classroom management theory and gives you ready-to-use tools that not only encourage positive behavior, but also empower students to take responsibility for their behavior.

This book is organized into two sections: the first provides general classroom operating principles for maintaining control of the classroom and for helping teachers with day-to-day classroom management; and the second is chock full of teacher-friendly activities to promote an enhanced classroom environment. These strategies will help you

• improve your teaching and classroom management skills,
• enhance your knowledge base, and
• maintain a positive attitude so that you can be proactive rather than reactive.

Also included are a quick-glance chart that groups the activities by appropriate grade level and checklists for classroom procedures and routines, teacher classroom management, and self-evaluation.
