Group Processes in the Classroom

by Richard A. Schmuck, Patricia A. Schmuck

How can teachers work with their students more effectively? How can administrators and teachers collaboratively manage schools smoothly? First, they need to have a clear understanding of how students, teachers, and administrators function in groups and a clear plan for how to improve these group dynamics. In this book, recent real-life examples show how different group-process theories can be applied successfully to your own classroom and school, whether it's in inner-city Los Angeles, suburban Chicago, or rural Maine. Authors Richard and Patricia Schmuck offer many useful suggestions, and place special emphasis on how interpersonal relationships at school are deeply connected to how students feel about school and to what they learn. With solid theory, down-to-earth applications, and current topics such as cooperative learning and multiage classes, you'll find this book a valuable and practical addition to your professional library.
