This text is concise and doesn t intimidate the undergraduate student. Students need the bottom line. Currently, this text does that.
Justin J. Wageman, North Dakota State University

This text is very informative. It is not easy to find a book on discipline that includes the material that this one does.
Barrie A. Brancato, Clarian University

I have used this text since I began teaching classroom management six years ago. I have reviewed many others but still find this one to best meet the needs of the students.
Joan Schwartz, Armstrong Atlantic State University

Written for classroom management and general methods courses, the Fourth Edition of Principles of Classroom Management provides a theoretically based and practical system for helping teachers prevent disruptive behavior, influence appropriate behavior, and continue to provide a positive learning environment for their students. This concise text presents an array of decision-making options that guide teachers in thinking about how to approach particular classroom management situations and choose from a range of options designed to prevent, cope with, and solve a variety of problems.

New to This Edition:

• Includes iterative case studies that are reanalyzed as more concepts are introduced, allowing students to apply their new understandings to real classroom behavior problems.
• Two new appendices on (1) Guidelines for Working with Special Needs Students, and (2) Decisions and Tasks for Beginning the School Year focus attention on two critical teacher needs.
