Based on 30 years of research and experience in more than 500 classrooms, Classroom Management for Middle School and High School Teachers, Ninth Edition, provides prospective or new teachers with the skills, approaches, and strategies necessary to establish effective management systems in the classroom. 

Key features of this best-selling text include:

• A wealth of guiding principles, strategies, and step-by-step guidelines that cover all aspects of management from arranging the physical space of the classroom through planning and conducting instruction and through managing behavior problems (e.g., see "Five keys to Good Room Arrangement" at the very beginning of Chapter 2).

• End-of-chapter checklists in most of the chapters summarize key guidelines for practice and translate concepts into usable plans (e.g., the end of Chapters 3, 4, 5, 7).

• Case studies throughout the text illustrate key ideas and to make the book content concrete.  These vignettes show how good and poor practices can compound in their effects over time and provide opportunities for dynamic analysis (e.g., see the two vignettes near the beginning of Chapter 1 and the case studies at the end of Chapter 3).

• A focus on elementary school classrooms provides those who are teaching or will teach at the elementary school level with content that fits that environment.  All examples, checklists, case studies, vignettes, and group activities are designed for the elementary level.
