Classroom Management Strategies: Gaining and Maintaining Students' Cooperation

Classroom Management Strategies: Gaining and Maintaining Students' Cooperation contains a wealth of information about classroom management strategies that teachers successfully use to lead students to be on-task and engaged in lessons. The strategies are based on extensive school teaching experiences as well as on the findings of numerous studies in learning theory, social interaction, communication, developmental psychology, multicultural education, behavioristic psychology, motivation, student engagement, and violence prevention.

New to This Edition

• Updated content is incorporated throughout that reflects advances in instructional technology and recently published research findings.

• Attention to legal implications of teachers’ choices of classroom management practices - especially teachers’ responses to students’ off-task behaviors - is more emphasized throughout the text than it was in the prior edition.

• Nineteen cases observed since the publication of the sixth edition have been incorporated and some of the previous cases were deleted.

• To accommodate the new content without appreciably increasing the book's length and to improve the pedagogy, the writing throughout has been edited so that the presentations are crisper and connections among various topics are more explicitly explained.
