The purpose of this guide is to pass on to new teachers the keys to opening the school year successfully. Providing assistance in planning for the first two weeks of school, and offering a wide assortment of activities from which to choose, the text guides the teacher in using the first month of school as a foundation for creating a rich learning environment for the rest of the year. What the teacher must know about classroom management, the first day of school, student assessment, and parent communications are covered in detail. The authors also offer an approach to long-term planning (used in establishing the appropriate standards-based context for daily activities) and provide short term, minute by minute planning guides as well. Incorporating the input of many new and veteran teachers, Key to the Classroom's second edition offers greater detail and a more expanded format than the popular original text.

This book provides data and uses stories and personal insights gleaned from nearly 6,000 observations in real classrooms across the nation. The mix of data and descriptions provide a clear picture of the rich interaction of teacher and student behaviors – and how one predicts the other. Graphs and tables provide concrete visual representations of the often surprisingly low rates of effective instructional practices used in the average classroom. In addition to a description of how the large dataset was developed, there are descriptions of what it is like to visit multiple classrooms in different schools, what the data tells us about teaching and learning in our public school system, and what the implications are for pre-service teacher training, school professional development, research, and understanding interaction effects.

In this book, William Powell and Ochan Kusuma-Powell provide a practical map to navigate some of today's most complicated instructional challenges: How do you help all students succeed when every classroom is, in effect, a global classroom? And what does a successful education look like in a world that is growing smaller and flatter every day? Drawing on research and years of experience in international schools, the authors identify five critical keys to personalizing learning for students who have wildly different cultural, linguistic, and academic backgrounds: * Focus on your students as learners through systematic examination of their cultural and linguistic identities, learning styles and preferences, and readiness. * Focus on yourself as a teacher and investigate your own cultural biases, preferred teaching style and beliefs, and expectations. * Focus on your curriculum to identify transferable concepts that will be valuable and accessible to all students and further their global competence. * Focus on your assessments to ensure cultural sensitivity and improve the quality of the formative data you gather. * Focus on your collegial relationships so that you can effectively enlist the help of fellow educators with different experiences, backgrounds, skills, and perspectives. The way to teach now is to focus on your students both as individuals and as members of a multifaceted, interdependent community. Here, you'll learn how to design and deliver instruction that prepares students not just to meet standards but to live and work together in our complicated, 21st century world.

Virtually every study about compelling needs in education places classroom management at or near the top of the list. Thoroughly understanding some particularly relevant principles of Human Behavior allows teachers to be able to systematically and skillfully manage the learning environment. This subsequently enables teachers and students to focus on subject content and results in greater learning opportunities. Five Principles of Human Behavior: Behavior is largely a product of it's immediate environment; Behavior is strengthened or weakened by its consequences; Behavior ultimately responds better to positive that to negative consequences; Whether behavior has been punished or reinforced is known only by the course of that behavior in the future; Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior (until something in the environment changes to correct that behavior). Human behavior is lawful: hence it can be predicted, not with absolute certainty as with the law of gravity, but certainly in terms of probabilities. We can remarkable increase the probability that behavior will move in the desired direction and at the proper rate. The answers to problems within an environment are to be found within that environment. Teachers often, unknowingly, reinforce the very behaviors that disrupt their classes.

For many years educational experts have extolled the benefits of a positive student-teacher relationship. Personal connections between teachers and students can be the key motivator in student interest and achievement in school. Yet teachers have little knowledge about how to establish the relationships that can instill in their students a desire to learn and an incentive to minimize negative behaviors in the classroom. This book holds the keys to forming those relationships that teachers need to motivate and successfully communicate with every student. The six keys identified to successful classroom management based on the concepts of the Process Communication Model(R) are: 1.Know Yourself 2.Know Your Students 3.Examine Current Strategies 4.Motivate by Type 5.Develop Intervention Strategies 6.Create a Multifaceted Environment The authors offer teachers unique and easy-to-implement strategies for managing their classrooms and their students. This book helps teachers maximize student potential through knowing their personality types and designing management strategies and instruction that correspond to each type. Effective Classroom Management contains true success stories from real teachers who have experienced barriers in reaching difficult students. Chapters are also provided on individualizing for success, dealing with acute negative behaviors, and preparing students for standards and assessments.
