Discipline in the Secondary Classroom: A Positive Approach to Behavior Management (New)

Randall S. Sprick

One of the greatest challenges facing teachers is how to effectively manage behaviors in the classroom. This resource offers positive approaches to help high school teachers spend less time attending to disruption and more time instructing. It provides step-by-step guides to implementing research-based strategies to help increase student motivation and success. The proactive and positive techniques are designed to help teachers prevent problems before they occur. The book discusses such issues as classroom organization, management plans, teaching expectations, rules and consequences, and motivation, and the many samples and reproducible forms make this a practical resource. The appendixes provide excellent evaluation tools to help you collect data on student behavior and assess and revise your management plan as necessary. (286 pages)
