Practical Management Advice and Many Ready-to-Use Sheets,
By
This review is from: Behavior Management in the Middle School Classroom (Paperback)
The Canters have done it again. They have provided a mini-encyclopedia of classroom management issues. They emphasize the establishment of student-teacher relationships in addition to the setting of classroom rules and procedures. As in their earlier works, they stress having a few well-defined rules, consistency of rule enforcement, confrontations of students in private (never in front of peers), etc. They see young adolescents not as "hormones and feet", but as individuals who have greater mood swings than older or younger persons, and ones who need the security of structure and discipline during this uncertain time in their lives.
The teacher needs to diagnose students who chronically break rules as either in need of attention, in need of firmer limits, or in need of motivation. Checklists of common misbehaviors are provided to help the teacher make this determination. This book also includes many ready-to-copy-and-use forms. These include a parent rapport form, student self-evaluation, student past-teachers evaluation, weekly classwide behavior tracking sheet, positive note home, individual behavior contract, privilege pass, Gotcha! (caught being good), etc.
