Taylor outlines the specific skills educators require for successful classroom management and behavior-control strategies. Research supports the premise that knowledge of effective classroom management techniques and strategies is essential in helping teachers to effectively deal with inappropriate, aggressive, and/or unacceptable classroom behaviors. For new teachers, classroom management is especially critical. In the book the following key elements are named as the cornerstone of successful classroom management for new, as well as seasoned, teachers: 1) how to manage children from diverse backgrounds, 2) how to employ effective strategies to deal with various types of behavior problems, 3) how to effectively assess and diagnose behavioral problems, 4) how to seek professional services, 5) how to effectively communicate with parents, and 6) how to recognize the ways cultural differences impact behavior. The success of these strategies will depend upon the teacher's demonstration of appropriate models, maintenance of a democratic environment, and a proactive approach.Chapter 1 List of Figures and Tables Chapter 2 Preface Chapter 3 Acknowledgment Chapter 4 Causes Associated with Classroom Management and Discipline Problems Chapter 5 Classroom Management Theories Chapter 6 The Kounin Model Chapter 7 The Ginott Model Chapter 8 The Glasser Classroom Model Chapter 9 Behavioral Management Strategies Chapter 10 Assertive Disorders Chapter 11lã©
