How to manage a class is probably the major worry of all teachers in training and young teachers new to the job. This book shows how psychological principles, strategies and tools can be applied to improve classroom practice.

The central theme of Principles of Classroom Management is the importance of the teacher-student relationship in fostering positive student behaviour and academic success. The authors focus on the critical nature of language and labelling, placing the onus on teachers to modify either their behaviour or the situation. The other pillar of Principles of Classroom Management is its up-to-date Canadian content. It reflects Canadian values through its references to current Canadian research, discussion of changes in Canadian schools, and coverage of best practices across the country. The case studies have also been revisited to ensure they reflect real, current issues in Canadian schools.

The market leading Canadian edition ofPrinciples of Classroom Managementbalances theory and research with practical tools to help teachers make sound decisions in their classrooms. It remains, like the previous edition, focused, relevant, and well-written, with pertinent Canadian details and language. The new edition continues to show new Canadian and international research, and contains reference to the Canadian Charter of Student Rights and Freedoms, relevant sections of the Canadian Youth Justice Act, new part-opening iterative cases, new kaleidoscope cases which present a classroom situation from a variety of perspectives, a new decision-making model (CALM), and a Companion Website with multiple-choice self-study questions and complex cases.
