This book is uniquely organized around four major components emphasizing the integration of effective teaching, proactive preventive strategies, practical corrective strategies, and positive supportive techniques. The view of effective teaching as a prevention tool in classroom management permeates the text. Based on research and focused on practical application, this text includes: mnemonic devices and cognitive maps to aid student retention and instructional organization, clear examples and scenarios to facilitate implementation, strategies tested across cultural, ability, and learning style differences, and assessment exercises to check thorough understanding of the concepts.
