This comprehensive guide to classroom management is also the only book to emphasize observation as the best way to determine developmentally appropriate interventions. By following a process for observing children, educators will learn how to see beyond children's manifest behavior to focus on their motivations, needs, and interests. Featuring a series of chapters organized by age, from birth through elementary school, this book:

  • Helps teachers to individualize discipline practices, including ways to use the curriculum to prevent and manage challenging behaviors.
  • Offers supportive vignettes and a menu of developmentally appropriate strategies that teachers can choose from.
  • Questions the effectiveness of frequently used discipline methodologies, such as time-outs and coerced apologies.
  • Includes a training module to help teachers, administrators, and parents to work together to create more consistency between home and school.
  • Provides useful forms to keep track of peer interactions, teacher and student self-reflections, parent observations, teacher disciplinary practices, bullying, and more.
