Handbook of Classroom Management

“The third edition of the Handbook of Classroom Management provides critically important information for teachers, administrators, and educational researchers who are concerned about how to engage students and address behavior concerns in the modern classroom. Multiple chapters by leading researchers update the research base from previous editions while others explore new topics in the field. Preventive strategies as well as behavior interventions are thoroughly described in multiple chapters. Contextual factors and student characteristics impacting management are also extensively considered. Co-editors Sabornie and Espelage provide the single best source available for accessing information about the very diverse field of classroom management.” —Edmund Emmer, Professor (Emeritus) of Educational Psychology at University of Texas at Austin, USA “Handbook of Classroom Management, Third Edition, is a welcome addition to the literature and sure to serve the needs of scholars, practitioners, and decision-makers. The array of chapters, expert authors, and topics is stunning in coverage of the critical scientific and applied matters in contemporary education. The contents reveal a profound shift in thinking and approach toward prevention, positive approaches to fostering student adjustment and success, and sensitivity to the unique role that contexts—classroom, school, peers, family, neighborhood—play in constructing educational settings that align to the range of students’ perspectives and needs. I imagine this edition will be a landmark in how the field studies, understands, and acts to promote the behavioral, social, and academic success of all students.” —Robert C. Pianta, Batten Bicentennial Professor in the School of Education and Human Development at University of Virginia, USA
