Description
For courses in discipline and classroom management, learning and instruction, methods of teaching, and educational psychology, Charles (teacher education, San Diego State U.) explains how teachers can develop personal systems of discipline that are linked to their individual philosophies and personalities and the needs, traits, and social realities of their schools. He presents models of discipline by educational thinkers, as well as explaining the process of personalization. This edition has a new organization that emphasizes themes rather than individual approaches, describes new techniques, and has new chapters on understanding and working productively with students whose behavior is affected by neurological issues, Harry and Rosemary Wong's views of classroom management, Ronald Morrish's views on teacher guidance in discipline, and self-restitution and moral intelligence. It also has new material on the roles of professionalism, Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium standards, and the Praxis Series, and expanded historical background.

It has a strong theoretical basis and provides students with a sound overview of classroom management. . . . [E]ach chapter is easy to follow and . . . [t]he case examples and the application examples strengthen each chapter. . . . A true gem of a book!”--Aubrey Fine, CA Poly University[Two things] I like about the new edition that the [previous edition did] not have [are] the chapter on self-assessment, as well as [the] inclusion of theBe the Teacher Scenarios in all the chapters. My students have enjoyed theBe the Teacher practice exercises a lot, and I am glad that with the new edition they will have even more opportunities to practice.”--Madalina Tanase, University of North Florida“Not only does Charles provide the essence of each model, but he focuses on how to execute the model in a classroom.
