Description

For courses in Classroom Management and Behavior Management.

 

This popular case-based text applies behavior management principles to classroom teaching, with an emphasis on analyzing behavior management as an instructional problem.

Managing Classroom Behavior summarizes principles of good instruction, the acting-out cycle, and how to work with students, other teachers, and parents.

This concise, clearly written case-based text is appropriate for both general and special educators in training or in service.
