Approaches to behavior and classroom management: integrating discipline and care

"This book moves caring from being an object of study to being a professionalpractice. Thinking of classroom management in terms of relationships, learning, development, organization and accommodating diversity redefines discipline.No longer is it about rules and punishments--now it is about connections and meaning making. This is a book that a teacher can really do something with!" Professor George Noblit, University of North Carolina. Distinguished Professor specializing in the sociology of Education. Approaches to Behavior and Classroom Management focuses on helping teachers use a variety of approaches in behavior and classroom management in order to make good decisions when faced with the challenge of creating positive classroom communities. Today's classrooms often include children from a variety of backgrounds and with different needs - needs that must be met if these children are to thrive in school. This text will provide teachers and other educators with the historical and cultural framework necessary to understand approaches to behavior and classroom management, a deep understanding of each approach, and a tool belt of relevant methods from which to choose to meet the needs of various situations.
