Coaching Classroom Management: Strategies & Tools for Administrators & Coaches

This book is a must-read for administrators, staff developers, behaviour specialists, and instructional coaches who work directly with teachers to improve classroom management and student behaviour. Coaching Classroom Management, 2nd ed. is filled with everything you need to implement effective behavioural coaching: • Observation forms • Staff development materials • Checklists • Rating scales • Tip sheets for classroom walkthroughs

The new second edition adds to the toolkit with more detailed directions for data collection tools, tips for working with reluctant teachers, an analysis of reciprocity, and a sample model for coaching.

The tools in this book were designed and field tested to close the gap between the ideal of research-based practices and the actual implementation of positive classroom management. Administrators will find guidelines for setting expectations and assisting teachers in meeting them. Classroom coaches will discover how they can use the skills they already have to assist teachers in a non-evaluative context.

Coaching Classroom Management is the perfect companion to CHAMPs, Discipline in the Secondary Classroom, or any research-based approach to managing student behaviour. The effective leadership of administrators, instructional coaches, master teachers, mentors, behaviour specialists, school psychologists, department chairs, subject area specialists, and literacy coaches can help teachers create calm and productive classrooms.

Help teachers spend less time dealing with disruptions and more time engaged in the business of teaching. Work with teachers to implement proactive, positive, and instructional approaches, which research has demonstrated achieve results far superior to traditional authoritarian, punitive, or exclusionary models.
