This comprehensive guide to classroom management is also the only book to emphasize observation as the best way to determine developmentally appropriate interventions. By following a process for observing children, educators will learn how to see beyond children’s manifest behavior to focus on their motivations, needs, and interests. Featuring a series of chapters organized by age, from birth through elementary school, this book:




Helps teachers to individualize discipline practices, including ways to use the curriculum to prevent and manage challenging behaviors.
Offers supportive vignettes and a menu of developmentally appropriate strategies that teachers can choose from.
Questions the effectiveness of frequently used discipline methodologies, such as time-outs and coerced apologies.
Includes a training module to help teachers, administrators, and parents to work together to create more consistency between home and school.
Provides useful forms to keep track of peer interactions, teacher and student self-reflections, parent observations, teacher disciplinary practices, bullying, and more.
