Rethinking classroom management: strategies for prevention, intervention, and problem solving
Sequeira Belvel, Patricia
Most teachers still rely on compliance and control to maintain order in theirclassrooms. Drawing on years of classroom experience and consulting work, Patricia Sequeira Belvel proposes a more effective strategy-classroom leadership for both teachers and students. This second edition of the bestselling book, Rethinking Classroom Management, is based on a leadership model of prevention, intervention, and problem solving, and is filled with real-life examples, tips, strategies, and worksheets to help teachers foster leadership in themselves and their students. The author's techniques help teachers to recognize and solve problems at an early stage before learning is disrupted. Integrating classroom leadership into the day-to-day life of the classroom establishes an environment that supports students' sense of self-esteem, influence, autonomy, and connectedness. Students enjoy a more productive and supportive learning climatewhile also learning important life skills such as problem solving and building successful relationships with peers.
