This book presents an introduction to classroom management in secondary schools. Written in a lively, engaging, conversational style, it combines what research has to say about effective classroom management with knowledge culled from practice. The text focuses on real decisions made by real teachers as they manage the complex environment of the secondary classroom. The thinking and the actual management practices of four real secondary school teachers are integrated into discussions of research-based management principles. Readers come to "know" these teachers. We hear about the classes they teach and about the physical constraints of their rooms. We hear them reflect on their rules and routines and watch as they teach these rules and routines to students. We listen as they talk about motivating students and building community, and as they discuss appropriate ways to deal with misbehaviour. Secondary Classroom Management is well-organized and more comprehensive than many classroom management texts, with chapters on building safer, more caring classrooms; working with families; using time effectively; motivation; working with troubled students; and violence prevention. It also addresses the managerial challenges involved in a variety of instructional formats, such as recitations, discussions and group work. - Three new chapters have been added: Beyond Rules and Routines addresses the need to build caring, supportive relationships with and among students. Enhancing Students' Motivation is a larger version of the first edition's discussion of motivation. Preventing and Responding to Violence discusses the ways the teacher can build a climate of tolerance, teach conflict resolution, spot the early warning signs of potential violence, de-escalate potentially explosive situations, be alert for gang activity, and deal effectively with aggression and fighting. - The coverage of diversity has been expanded throughout the text. - The writing style is clear, lively, conversational, and engaging, while the examples are realistic and compelling, so that the book reads more like a novel than a textbook.
