A practical guide to what can be accomplished utilizing the technical aspects of classroom management, this invaluable resource will not only help educators learn how to build positive classroom communities, but also outline methods for involving students in the creation of their learning environment. The Fifth Edition has been updated to include a new chapter on communication skills for teaching, incorporated classroom case studies in each chapter, and includes updates using the latest management research in several chapters.
I thought this book was very interesting, I did learn a lot throughout this book, during my class. I had to read this book for my " Classroom Management for Teachers" class. You'll learn a lot from this book.
As a preservice teacher, this book was helpful in thinking of different ways of approaching classroom management and discipline. Sections were short and use of headings and visual hierarchy made it easy to skim when needed. This book did an excellent job of giving teachers a variety of approaches to consider. Burden also discusses things to consider to prepare the classroom for the start of school, things to consider and supplies to buy, how to establish routines and procedures, ways to make the classroom safe and inclusive as well as where diversity comes from and how to teach in ways to not promote biases. Overall an excellent and thorough resource.
