This item has been replaced by Comprehensive Classroom Management: Creating Communities of Support and Solving Problems, 9/E.

Comprehensive Classroom Management presents practical methods for creating a positive learning environment, working with behavioral problems, and dealing with a range of challenges in the K-12 classroom.

This text uses real-life examples to help both pre- and in-service teachers understand and apply the principles of classroom management in their classroom situations. This book uses numerous case studies, examples, and descriptions of specific strategies based on solid research and classroom experience, Comprehensive Classroom Management features classrooms ranging from kindergarten through twelfth grade. The book focuses on creating positive learning environments for students, and provides extensive, practical materials on both problem-solving and building individual behavior change plans for students with behavioral problems.

An assortment of real-life case studies, vignettes, and activities help the reader become an informed decision-maker rather than a technician.

A consideration of both the “whys” and “hows” of behavior problems and a discussion of specific methods to be used in the classroom help the reader become an effective problem solver.

The creation of “communities of support” in classrooms serves a key role in increasing student motivation and positive, pro-social student behavior.

A strong emphasis on assisting students with limited English proficiency aids teachers in ensuring that all students feel positive about their learning environment as well as their potential to learn.

Materials on creating an effective beginning of the school year provide a clear, specific outline for creating a community of support and establishing behavioral expectations (Ch. 7).

Information on conducting a functional behavioral assessment aids teachers, administrators and parents in understanding why serious behavior problems occur with specific students (Ch. 10).

Rewritten thoroughly to edit excess quotes, references, and theory, while still offering clarity in background and research in a clear, concise manner.

“Pause and Consider” sections, located throughout each chapter, assist the student in applying the book's content to real-life situations and discussing the material with classmates.

Additional cartoons throughout the book enhance student interest and lighten the mood of the text.

Graphic organizers throughout the text give students and instructors cognitive organizers to augment their experience.

Internet references throughout the book provide students and instructors with material to supplement the text's content.

New! Complete Instructor's Manual on CD-ROM with sample test items, activities, reproducible forms, and links to useful websites will make course preparation far easier.

New! Classroom vignettes video free to adopters will illustrate management issues in short clips.

All chapters conclude with “Summary” and “Recommended Reading.”
