ABOUT

The book is set up as an eight-week program that a teacher follows day-by-day, right in the classroom. Each week, the program covers one of these critical teaching tasks:
Week 1: Getting students’ attention
Week 2: Keeping students’ attention
Week 3: Engaging students
Week 4: Teaching the content
Week 5: Encouraging students’ participation
Week 6: Giving directions
Week 7: Communicating clearly
Week 8: Making successful transitions
The program focuses on one teaching task each week. Every day a specific skill helps the reader master that task. At the end of eight weeks, teachers will have learned forty new skills to help them manage their classroom with confidence.

Classroom management is not about discipline, rules, and consequences for behavior. Through effective classroom management strategies, the teacher creates an environment where engaged students are learning every day.

Here are some of the techniques in the book that will help you master classroom management:


  • using signals to get students’ attention
  • developing a “teaching spot” in the classroom
  • “bringing harmony” to a classroom to reduce visual distractions
  • offering “teasers” about what’s coming up tomorrow
  • distilling the material to a “one-point lesson plan”
