Product Description:
This practical guide for teachers discusses the factors that contribute to a productive classroom atmosphere and promote self-regulatory behavior on the part of students. On the basis of the latest research findings, the authors describe ways in which teachers can meet students' affective needs and desire for classroom control, without losing control themselves. Case examples, classroom tips, self- or group study questions, and suggested readings make this volume accessible and easy to use.
