In Designing Effective Classroom Management, Jason E. Harlacher gives teachers and school administrators a research-based look at instructional strategies that can improve student behaviour and achievement in the classroom. Harlacher presents a step-by-step, practical guide to proactive classroom management, specifying five components to help enhance student achievement and decrease classroom problems. Each chapter details a different necessary component of the proactive approach to classroom management.

Part of The Classroom Strategies Series, this clear, highly practical guide follows the series format, first summarizing key research and then translating it into recommendations for classroom practices.

“I’ll show you detailed strategies that prevent and minimize difficulties with students, so you can focus on constructive action that will have a lasting, positive impact.” Gianna Cassetta

Positive, supportive relationships with children help them develop socially and emotionally and helps you to effectively manage your classroom, Gianna Cassetta states. Her approach creates a positive environment that can actually be planned, taught, and supported from the first day of school—or anytime.

Classroom Management Matters shifts you away from draining rewards-and-consequences systems. Instead of tips and techniques for controlling the uncontrollable, Gianna presents a plan for explicitly teaching children how to be effective learners and accountable members of the classroom.

With reflection questions, classroom examples, and summaries of supporting studies from researcher Brook Sawyer, Classroom Management Matters helps you be a learning leader in the classroom instead of an authority.

“We are going to be bold and put it out there: being able to effectively manage a classroom is the most essential aspect of teaching. Classroom management should be the first class taught to all teachers and should be the first consideration anytime that someone is teaching a new class. Certainly having a thorough understanding of the subject matter and being able to make difficult topics easy to understand are critical to effective teaching; however, if the classroom is not under control, no teaching can occur and no curriculum can be taught. Students will probably learn — but chances are they won’t learn the lessons we intended for them to learn. Rather than learning reading, social skills, history, or science, they will learn how to survive in chaos” (Hulac and Briesch, 3).

An indispensable guide that distils the best classroom management science into easy-to-implement strategies teachers can use to promote a productive and safe learning environment. Chapters provide productive evidence-based guidelines for implementing class-wide prevention strategies, token economies, group contingencies, and self-management interventions.
