Classroom Management for All Teachers: Plans for Evidence-Based Practice (3rd Edition)

Classroom Management for All Teachers: Plans for Evidence-Based Practice (3rd Edition)

<P style="MARGIN: 0px">This book is based on the idea that a behavior management plan can be as effective in preventing problematic classroom behavior as it is in managing it and utilizes an evidence-based approach to solving problems. It offers easy-to-implement, research-based plans for addressing problematic classroom behavior in two key areas: on-task time/assignment completion and disruption/rule violation. The author introduces a dozen behavior management plans in non-technical language. This eliminates the need for extensive training in behavior therapy or learning theory. </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> <B>FEATURES:</B> </P> <UL> <LI> <B>An introductory <B>chapter </B> </B> <B>addressing “evidence-based” practice in education</B>–Explaining the scientific nature of the book's plans and introducing the rationale behind the use of such practice. <LI> <B>A chapter on the “beeper” system for enhancing student engagement.</B> <UL> <LI>Introduces a recently developed device, the “MotivAider”–explains how it works, when it is best used, and what can be expected when it is used.</LI> </UL> <LI> <B>A common format in each plan chapter (Chapters 2 -12)</B>–Description, terms, apparatus, baseline measurement, procedures, “how it works,” additional considerations, hypothetical cases, “what if,” and forms. <UL> <LI>Facilitates comparison among plans–helps future teachers develop their intuitive sense for what works with which learners, and why.</LI> </UL> <LI> <B>Discussion of a “dual plan” strategy for addressing disruptive behavior</B>–Teaming a plan for stopping the disruptive behavior with one for encouraging desired behavior. <UL> <LI>Illustrates the advantage in tackling certain problem behaviors “on two fronts”–offers specific plans that work concurrently to change “bad” behavior into “good” behavior.</LI> </UL> <LI> <B>A wide range of plans</B>–For individual students, small groups, and entire classrooms. <UL> <LI>Expands the repertoire of both beginning and veteran teachers–provides a full complement of strategies to fit a wide range of situations and behaviors.</LI> </UL> <LI> <B>Perforated pages--</B>Enables teachers to tear out specific plans for implementation. </LI> </UL>
