Freedom to Learn: Creating a Classroom Where Every Child Thrives. Art
Willans & Cari Williams, $19.95
Disinterested students and behavioral problems are all
too common in schools. Yet results show that behavior charts and other
reward-and-punishment systems simply don't work. Teachers are burning out and
students are failing. But what can be done?
The secret lies in a unique combination of behavioral
science, neuropsychology, and group dynamics. When teachers get the classroom
experience right, students want to succeed and achieve to their potential,
while behavioral problems largely vanish. For decades, it has been widely
accepted that children have motivating needs including the need to avoid pain,
a need for autonomy, and the need to belong. The authors harness these
motivations into a method of interactions that increases cooperation, and in which
children want to succeed and help others to thrive.
Packed with real classroom examples and practical
guidance for using the methods, this guide gives teachers the tools to
transform even difficult classrooms. Start teaching for universal success in
classroom management and academic accomplishments. |

realistic ideas to sustain the organizational and behavioural transformations

practice and construct pathways for students to become engaged

Temperament-Based Elementary Classroom Management. Sandee
Graham McClowry, $35.95
This book presents an alternative
to the “one size fits all” classroom approach. The majority of classroom
management books present generic strategies as if they are applicable to all
students. The underlying assertion of such books is that if teachers use such
approaches, student behavior problems will seldom occur. An alternative
framework, presented in this book, asserts that teachers need to incorporate
knowledge about temperament into their strategies for classroom management. As
studies have demonstrated, targeted temperament-based strategies succeed where
global disciplinary practices have failed. Because students differ in their
temperaments, variations in classroom behavior are to be expected.
Child temperament is the
inborn individual characteristics that affect the way children react to
different situations. It is also a social processing system through which
children view and interact with the world, both altering the responses of
others and contributing toward their own development. Once teachers learn the
major tenets of temperament, they no longer view their students as
intentionally misbehaving. Instead they understand how the temperaments of
their students influence their classroom behavior. Such insights release
teachers from engaging in futile battles with their students. They can redirect
their energies into enhancing their relationships with their students,
implementing effective temperament-based strategies, and, as a result, spend
more time on instructional activities. |

Uncover the Roots of Challenging Behavior: Create
Responsive Environments Where Young Children Thrive. Michelle Salcedo,
$49.99

practical solutions and their likely outcomes. Placing you at the centre of the
decision making process, it allows you to experiment with a range of options in
a reflective and engaging manner to see which of your choices may work and why
others may not. This scenario-based approach not only lets you explore the
various options available to you, but also enables you to see the consequence
of your actions.
This fun and interactive book is
essential reading for all trainee and qualified teachers who want a fresh
approach to behaviour management in their classrooms. |
