Classroom Management that Works Research-based Strategies for Every Teacher

"In this follow-up to What Works in Schools, Robert J. Marzano analyzes research from more than 100 studies on classroom management to discover the answers to these questions and more. He then applies these findings to a series of "Action Steps"-specific strategies that educators can use to: get the classroom management effort off to a good start, establish effective rules and procedures, implement appropriate disciplinary interventions, foster productive student-teacher relationships, develop a positive "mental set", help students contribute to a positive learning environment, and activate schoolwide measures for effective classroom management. Marzano and his co-authors Jana S. Marzano and Debra J. Pickering provide real stories of teachers and students in classroom situations to help illustrate how the action steps can be used successfully in different situations. In each chapter, they also review the strengths and weaknesses of programs with proven track records."--Cover.
