Common-Sense Classroom Management for Middle and High School Teachers



February 2005 | 128 pages | Corwin
`There are quite a few gems hidden within this text, though. Focusing pupils through the non-verbal communication of positioning, eye contact, gestures and postures is certainly an innovative approach. Having positive expectations and expressing them appropriately is another excellent and workable idea. To have clear outcomes for your class so as to manage better is also an obvious but excellent tip. In general the positive, upbeat approach of the authors is highly commendable as something which works, not only in primary but also in secondary schools'- Nurturing Potential

"...the positive, upbeat approach of the authors is highly commendable as something which works, now only in primary but also in secondary schools...The section on bullying is very practical.  It includes 4 clear signals for busy teachers.  This is worth a ton of theory on the root causes and psychology of the bully and is to be applauded."
