A Fresh and Positive Look at Classroom Management

by Dr. Jane Bluestein

Hundreds of practical ideas for success in any classroom or school. Great gift for a beginning teacher, or anyone wanting to up their game and grow their career.

Description

When it comes to behavior challenges in the classroom, conventional practices and punitive discipline codes often fail to motivate studentsto change their attitudes or behavior. Recognized for defining a nontraditional approach that really works, Dr. Jane Bluestein offers educators ways to prevent discipline problems, build student accountability, and end frustrating power struggles with kids of all ages.

This authoritative, research-based guidebook discusses the impact of stress, brain functioning, learning styles, and social and emotional issues on student behavior. You’ll find examples, guidelines, charts, and anecdotes, along with practical, powerful, and effective ideas to help you:

• Avoid falling into the “rules and punishment” trap
• Establish win-win authority relationships while defusing conflict and opposition
• Build a positive, caring, and emotionally safe learning climate
• Encourage student cooperation, motivation, self-management, and on-task behavior
• Accommodate a wide variety of learning styles and preferences in a brain-friendly atmosphere
• Minimize academic failure and frustration—even with pressure to “get through the content”
• Reduce social conflict and emotional outbursts
• Eliminate defiance, dependence, and disinterest
• Engage even the most defiant, defeated, or resistant learner by using powerful alternative strategies
• Make your classroom (and school) culture much more positive
• Build relationships with parents and other staff members
• Reduce stress and burnout and make your work more enjoyable

The Win-Win Classroom will change the way you interact with students and help you build a positive social culture within your school and classroom.

The reader comes away with strategies for implementation and the confidence to create win-win classrooms and support students in self-management.

The focus throughout this book is on effective classroom strategies for setting up a win-win environment where everyone’s needs are met and there are fewer power struggles to disrupt instruction.—Wendy Marshal, Director, Educational Technology Training Center, Armstrong Atlantic State University

This best-selling book evolved from Jane’s earlier work on 21st Century Discipline and includes lots of new examples and material not covered in that book. Includes dozens of handy charts, self-assessment surveys, planning pages, and activity sheets.

For all grade levels and for anyone working in a school setting, this book is a great resource for college professors and seminar or study group leaders.
