Elementary Classroom Management: Lessons from Research and Practice

by Carol Simon Weinstein, Andrew Mignano Jr., Molly Romano

Stressing the need to build caring, supportive relationships with and among students, Elementary Classroom Lessons from Research and Practice offers research-based guidance on effective classroom management. It addresses current concerns about student motivation and helps prospective and beginning teachers develop a philosophy of classroom management that focuses on building connections with students and creating safe, caring classrooms. The trusted text profiles five master teachers (grades K, 1, 3, 4 and 5) in very different school settings as they create classrooms that are orderly and productive, humane and caring. The integration of the thinking and the actual management practices of five real elementary teachers into discussions of research-based management principles prompts readers to connect theories with actual results. Further, the text demonstrates how real teachers can adapt to any circumstances--physical room constraints, curriculum requirements, challenging behaviors--and still be successful.

This book, while informative, was relatively out-dated in the terms of education. The chapters were long and did not contain new information, and the key terms were not the easiest to find. I’d read this book if you were very into classroom management, but I would not suggest if you wanted another boring education textbook.

Awesome resource. I feel that I get a lot of usable information from this book. At times I wonder if it might be a bit outdated, considering the pictures from the teachers in the book appear to be from the 80's.
