商品簡介
Most teacher training courses approach classroom management as teacher-centered control achieved through rule setting and enforcement, which can easily result in a climate of fear. By contrast, Cooper (teacher education, Baker College, Jackson, MI) and Garner's practical text explains how to achieve a well-ordered, effective and interactive "learning classroom" based on building respectful relationships, using engaging and relevant materials, and incorporating structure, opportunities, and security that challenge students to achieve depth and breadth of learning through self-discipline. Drawing on the authors' combined 75-plus years of experience as educational professionals in various capacities--as counselor, alternative education developer, administrator, classroom teacher, learning coach, researcher, and consultant--the text has much to offer all levels of teachers, from pre-service to seasoned veterans seeking to boost the effectiveness of their classroom environment.
