Authentic Classroom Management: Creating a Community of Learners

by Barbara Larrivee

Authentic Classroom Management provides the basics of classroom management by bridging the formats of the traditional text and workbook. This easy-to-read, practical book emphasizes self-reflective exercises, activities, and action while simultaneously presenting a broad theoretical background. Highlighting a comprehensive range of techniques and philosophies, the book teaches alternative ways to support positive classroom behaviors. The book's many exercises offer opportunity for skill development through self-analysis and self-questioning -- the processes essential for ongoing growth as an educator.
