Comprehensive Classroom Management offers practical advice and real-life examples that help you understand and apply the principles of classroom management in your own classroom situations. The text helps K to 12 teachers implement effective classroom management methods. The emphasis is on creating safe, supportive classroom environments where students are motivated to learn, 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 text also examines instructional methods that support high rates of student engagement.
