Schools & Teaching

Charles C. Thomas Pub Ltd

Schools today have transcended from the chalkboard to the whiteboard and are populated by students who are not frightened to use the technology of this new age of learning. During this period of dynamic change, teachers must be ready to meet the challenges of preparing students for a global society characterized by diversity and ever-increasing expectations. Effective teachers in the new millennium must prepare their students to function in a complex society of increasing knowledge, changing needs, and endless opportunities for individuals who leave school knowing how to learn on their own and solve problems in a dynamic environment. During this climate of change, this new edition has been prepared to meet the needs of both current and future teachers. The text defines the best practice research that forms the basis for development of the teacher as an effective practitioner and then proceeds through discussions of planning for instruction, communicating as professionals, and research-based teaching behaviors and strategies. Also included is a comprehensive discussion of managing student behavior and assessing student performance. Specifically, the text offers recommendations for planning, providing instruction, classroom management, and the evaluation and reporting of student progress. The book serves as a significant resource in providing educators with guidance, direction, and insight in achieving success in effective teaching.

Best Practice in Motivation and Management in the Classroom

This text offers practical information and vicarious practice for both beginning and veteran teachers to become more knowledgeable, skilled, and therefore effective in their work. The text explains to teachers why it is important to have an understanding of their students’ interests, styles of learning, and backgrounds in order to meet the unique needs of each individual student, and why having the ability to manage the learning environment, motivate students in the learning environment, and offer instruction is itself motivating and contributes to students learning what they need to acquire. It will help teachers develop their skills as instructional specialists, motivators, managers, and problem solvers in order to meet the expectations for their students. Stressed throughout the book is that teachers must find ways to teach their students in ways that students find interesting, relevant, engaging, and understandable, and that if students do not see what they are learning as interesting, if they do not recognize it as being relevant to their lives either now or in the future, if they are not meaningfully connected to it, and if they do not view it as being understandable to the degree that they can be successful, they will not achieve their greatest potentials. This book will help teachers to get their students to achieve at high levels in demonstrating what they have learned through the application of these intertwined areas of student motivation and classroom management, which are considered critical for best practice in teaching in classrooms today.

The Modern Middle School: Addressing Standards and Student Needs

Three education scholars and college administrators (affiliated with the Coastal Carolina University and Charleston Southern University) consider how middle schools can adopt standards-based academic programs while maintaining student-centered princi ples. Emphasizing the role of teachers in determining the quality of instruction, the book considers the implications of this dual focus for the profession's guiding philosophy, classroom behaviors, and teaching skills. It specifically offers advic e on developing essential teaching characteristics, creating a positive learning environment, curriculum planning, providing developmentally appropriate instruction, and assessing student progress.

"Middle school educators are facing many challenges in today's educational and political environment due to the focus on excellence as measured by achievement tests. It is the purpose of this book to provide a discussion of how middle schools can provide a strong standards based academic program while, at the same time, remaining focused on the student-centered principles upon which the middle school experience should be based."

"This text offers practical information and vicarious practice for both beginning as well as veteran teachers to become more knowledgeable, skilled, and effective in their work. Through study, application of what has been studied, and the analysis and evaluation of the end result of this application, teachers who care to improve can improve. And, teachers who are already successful in their teaching can be even more successful. Effective teachers are active learners themselves." This text therefore provides a specific context and focus for this active learning in the areas of student motivation and classroom management which are considered critical for best practice in teaching in classrooms today. The book reviews appropriate strategies when responding to specific types of student misbehavior and also discusses zero tolerance policies, expulsion, teaching special students, addressing diversity, violence, school uniforms, and drug abuse as related to management and motivation. It is highlighted with supporting case study examples, question and activity sections by chapter, and a helpful glossary. Also provided is an overview often popular models for classroom management with the theorists associated with their development. By reading this book, teachers will get their students to achieve at high levels in demonstrating what they have learned through the application of the most important, intertwined areas of motivation and classroom management.
