Comprehensive Classroom Management: Creating Communities of Support and Solving Problems

The condition was good. It had been a sample used by publisher for academic review, so the cover was distorted. Therefore, the book looked cheap compared to the other textbooks of peers.

I ordered it and received it immediatley. Book was in great condition and came right on time!

Even though this book is more of a textbook, I have really found it pretty useful. I'm going to begin my fifth year of teaching and I have found ideas and strategies that I could use. It has ideas for both lower and upper grades. It is very comprehensive, covering discipline techniques to parent/teacher conferences.

I felt I should write this review after seeing the bad wrap it got from another reviewer. I am doing my thesis on classroom discipline and out of all the books I've read on the subject, this one gave me the best insight and critique of the history of discipline research as well as great ideas for teachers on how to go about creating their own classroom management plan. This book touched on all areas important to successful classroom management; I have not found everything covered here in any other single source. This book is a must for all new teachers who really want to succeed!

I had to buy and read this book for a classroom management class. It is a great book for comparing the most recent research available. However, you usually need to read five to ten pages of what could have been stated in a paragraph. I do feel that I really understand the material by the time I finish reading the book. I have also used many of the ideas in my classroom to try and improve my classroom management in my student teaching experience.
