SynopsisThis empowering book illustrates how to achieve a positive classroom environment of respect and responsibility for all using techniques that include prevention, temporary intervention, and problem-solving strategies., 'This is the sort of book that should be given free to every teacher as they walk through the door of their first classroom. It is both inspirational and practical and will be lapped up by teachers who have still not forgotten that their pupils are people first and SATS levels second. The book is well-presented and incorporates childrens work into the text (I love the idea of using a two-inch voice when working in a group) very effectively. The fact that it is American doesnt bother me at all. What bothers me more is that the fact that it is American will be used as an excuse by some educators in the UK to at best ignore the book and at worst attempt to ridicule it. So - all good stuff, in a nutshell; a book which is basically about empowering children to have a say in their own learning. Lady Plowden must be cheering in her grave - Nurturing Potential Tomorrows leaders will be reflections of todays teachers. The ideal classroom consists of a positive relationship between teacher and students producing a harmonious environment resulting in beneficial, mutual fulfillment. In this empowering new book, Patricia Sequeira Belvel and Marcia Jordan demonstrate successful methods to achieve tranquility, while transforming managerial teachers into leaders in the classroom. Educators are enlightened by classroom and personal "connections" enabling the teacher to be immersed in real-life classroom situations and encouraging the reader to create a meaningful connection from their personal experiences. Key topics that help guide the readers through this transformation are: · Intrinsic motivation and personal beliefs and values as aids to making the shift from manager to leader: - Prevention strategies creating a caring community of learners - Temporary intervention techniques that effectively differentiate between discipline and punishment -Problem-solving strategies to help the student take initiative in creating constructive solutions for all Rethinking Classroom Management is an innovative guide in which these resourceful authors illustrate an approach, which has been used by successful educators for years, enabling teachers to evolve effectively into leaders and to create classrooms where students are more self-managing, demonstrating mutual respect, self-esteem, and responsibility.
