Author Description

Written for classroom management and general methods courses, the Canadian Edition of Principles of Classroom Management provides a theoretically-based, practical system for helping teachers prevent disruptive behaviour and influence appropriate behaviour while continuing to provide a positive learning environment.This concise text presents an array of decision-making options that guide teachers in thinking about how to approach particular classroom management situations and choose from a range of options designed to prevent, cope with, and solve a variety of problems. A variety of theoretical perspectives, each supported with cases taken from actual classrooms, give students many choices in how to handle issues that may arise in their own classrooms.The Canadian Edition cites Canadian research and represents educational policies and initiatives from across Canada. There are added examples of bullying, and improper use of the Internet and e-mail by students. The section on classroom questioning has been updated with Canadian content; and there is a brand new section on Canadian response to educational change.
