Principles of Classroom Management, Fourth Canadian Edition, 4/e

by James Levin

The central theme of Principles of
Classroom Management is the importance of the teacher-student
relationship in fostering positive student behaviour and academic
success. The authors focus on the critical nature of language
and labelling, placing the onus on teachers to modify either their
behaviour or the situation.
The other pillar of Principles of
Classroom Management is its up-to-date Canadian content. It
reflects Canadian values through its references to current Canadian
research, discussion of changes in Canadian schools, and coverage
of best practices across the country. The case studies have also
been revisited to ensure they reflect real, current issues in
Canadian schools.

A basic overview on classroom and behaviour management. I read the 6. ed., which was very well structured and gives lots of practical advice. I especially liked the hierarchy for management intervention (p. 189), ranging from nonverbal interventions and verbal interventions to logical consequences.
The extensive lists of references after every chapter are another plus.

Good read for new teachers.

I highlighted lots of stuff throughout, some seemingly meaningless, and one that any educator will validate: "Discipline problems are significant contributors to job-related stress and doubts about career choice and professional competency." (31) If only I truly understood the concept *then* but experience is the best teacher.
