by Vern Jones

This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book.

 

 

Comprehensive Classroom Management  is packed with practical advice and real-life examples to help teachers understand and apply the principles of classroom management in their own classroom situations. Comprehensive, based on the most current research, and supported through the examples of thousands of teachers already using these techniques, the book emphasizes creating classrooms where students feel safe because they know they are respected and supported by their teacher and peers–and where classroom behavior standards have been developed with and agreed upon by students. Through detailed case studies, examples, and descriptions of specific strategies, the book also examines instructional methods that support high rates of student engagement and methods for responding effectively to minor as well as serious and ongoing situations where student behavior disrupts the learning environment. The Eleventh Edition expands its emphasis on data-driven research-based approaches to classroom management, including a new focus on how brain research and trauma-sensitive classrooms that can informs our understanding of student learning and behavior.

One less book for the bonfire, but it's a textbook and I just can't give it anymore stars.

A textbook that's actually not a waste of time. There was a lot of good stuff in this one, and I will be keeping it to use as reference.

This textbook (and course) should be taught to everyone who wants to work with children. I already have an outline for the day that I finally walk into a classroom of my own.
Not only that, I now know how to incorporate the students' ideas towards creating a positive and productive classroom without either being either too lenient or too strict.
It takes a lot of planning and forethought, but the ideas, concepts, and examples offered in this text can help anyone create or adapt a game plan to match their situation.

I can see using this textbook as a guide going forward.

This was a textbook for my class and it so far has been the best one assigned. I liked how each chapter started out with a summary of research and then had strategies to use in the classroom.

[Sara · Rating 2 out of 5]

Some interesting research and suggestions, but way too dense and wordy, with a somewhat supercilious and preachy tone. There's a lot of "teachers are doing it wrong" bs in here that really turned me off.

This book contains great strategies for effective classroom management. I walked away from it with some extra tools in my toolbelt, so to speak.
