Classroom management for middle and high school teachers / Edmund T. Emmer, Carolyn M. Evertson.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Emmer (U. of Texas, Austin) and Evertson (Peabody College) aid teachers in establishing and maintaining a comprehensive classroom management plan. They draw on others' research and research they conducted over several decades in classrooms in different schools to figure out which skills, approaches, and strategies are needed and to show how teachers experience classroom management issues related to the classroom environment, the first days of school, engaging students, maintaining appropriate behavior and communication, responding to disruptive or inappropriate behavior, and managing behavior arising from individual differences. This edition has been updated to reflect the use of technology and includes new case studies, vignettes, and response prompts. It integrates concepts within and across chapters and includes an introductory chapter on connections between classroom management and other aspects of teaching, summaries in each chapter, new and updated readings with annotations, new emphasis on the use of technology in instruction, strategies for communicating with parents, and more on working with students with learning difficulties.
