A Case Study Approach to Classroom Management
Publisher: Allyn & Bacon
Boston, MA
2007, 235 pages

This text uses an interactive case study approach to guide readers in understanding and implementing an effective classroom management program focused on turning sound theories into practice. The text provides the IOSIE model as a mnemonic device for students to use when analyzing misbehavior. It also addresses contemporary classroom management issues such as bullying, gang violence, suicide prevention, child abuse, and sexual harassment.

"This text provides an underlying rationale for dealing with misbehavior, which will help students develop their own understanding of the decisions and choices one must make in developing a classroom management style of their own."
