Childcare providers and teachers in preschool and primary grade settings will greatly value the collection of writings in Guidance in the Developmentally Appropriate Classroom. The writings provide a concise yet multi-faceted overview of the guidance approach used with this age group. The book examines the differences between patience and understanding and between misbehavior and mistaken behavior, important distinctions that must be made in order to understand and deal with various behaviors using the guidance approach. Readers also will learn the components of an encouraging classroom and strategies for maintaining it, leading to non-punitive approaches for classroom management. One chapter puts particular focus on intervention strategies with boys, a topic readers often seek out. The book has the distinction of being selected as a comprehensive member benefit for the NAEYC for 2003.

Review
My overall impression of the product is positve. In comparision to the Wheeler text that I used this past year, I am happier with the Guidance text by Gartrell. My students lack the understanding of the guidance tradition and the historical roots of the tradition are important for students to understand. Furthermore, I like the classroom application pieces in Chapters 5 and 6.
The book above all is an excellent book. There are many positive techniques taught to support children?s social development. It addresses the problems which exist in our society, the developmental understandings of children at certain ages that can cause behavioral problems.
The content and orgranization of the text correspond to our course syllabus. The author is clearly aware of current problems in our society and their effects upon children and their families. Dr. Gartrell is clear in his writing style and strives to use practical examples that are relevant to children and to classroom teachers. He includes material that is current and the chapter summaries are helpful to students.
The text?s greatest strength is that it takes a proactive stance to guidance not reactive and covers all areas that feed into an all-inclusive guidance program. It demonstrates that teachers can create a caring environment without the classroom becoming chaotic. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: A Guidance Approach for the Encouraging Classroom (Paperback)
This book is a valuable to the beginning early childhood teacher as it is to the experienced teacher. You will see new ways in which to deal with behaviors that seemed impossible before. It is very easy to read and would be an excellent addition to any early childhood library.
