Classroom management is the number one issue for both new teachers and experienced educators. Best-selling author Marsha L. Tate shows that with appropriate planning, a classroom manager can reduce learning problems and increase academic achievement. She demonstrates how to cultivate a physical classroom environment conducive to learning, develop a proactive classroom management plan, deliver brain-compatible lessons, and deal with chronic behaviour problems.

Providing easy-to-implement strategies, this reader-friendly guide covers the use of lighting, music, humour, constructive conversations, movement, classroom rituals, and parental support to actively engage students in a positive way.

Each chapter follows a consistent structure and contains:

• A clear definition of the strategy

• The strategy′s theoretical framework

• Numerous sample classroom applications

• Reflective activities for creating your own strategies
