Rethinking Classroom Management: Strategies for Prevention, Intervention, and Problem Solving
"As a teacher and principal, I have found Pat Belvel and Maya Marcia Jordan's prevention and intervention framework to be the single most important resource to help teachers become consciously competent about their classroom management strategies and the positive effects they have on students." (Debbie Textor, Principal)"Traditional classroom management strategies do not encourage the development of basic social skills.Rethinking Classroom Managementis a desperately needed guide for educators about how to re-examine our own belief systems and change the way we attempt to manage and control students’ behavior.  Every teacher should read and apply the ideas in this great resource." (Martha Kaufeldt)"Rethinking Classroom Managementis the thinking teacher's answer to creating a positive, student-oriented learning environment." (Kristin Driggs, Reading Specialist) "The teacher as creator of a positive environment where every learner succeeds is at the core ofRethinking Classroom Management.  Weaving years of experience through disparate theoretical understandings, Belvel and Jordan have molded and polished a practical classroom management tool—a gift to teachers of any level."(Mimi Ahern, Literacy Coach and Specialist)
