Classroom Management That Works: Research-Based Strategies for Every Teacher
How does classroom management affect student achievement? What techniques do teachers find most effective? How important are schoolwide policies and practices in setting the tone for individual classroom management?
In this follow-up to What Works in Schools, Robert J. Marzano analyzes research from more than 100 studies on classroom management to discover the answers to these questions and more. He then applies these findings to a series of Action Steps--specific strategies that educators can use to
* Get the classroom management effort off to a good start,
* Establish effective rules and procedures,
* Implement appropriate disciplinary interventions,
* Foster productive student-teacher relationships,
* Develop a positive mental set,
* Help students contribute to a positive learning environment, and
* Activate schoolwide measures for effective classroom management.
Marzano and his coauthors Jana S. Marzano and Debra Pickering provide real stories of teachers and students in classroom situations to help illustrate how the action steps can be used successfully in different situations. In each chapter, they also review the strengths and weaknesses of programs with proven track records.
With student behavior and effective discipline a growing concern in schools, this comprehensive analysis is a timely guide to the critical role of classroom management in student learning and achievement.

Rated 5 starsRescue of the Deepsix Four
Deepsix (2001) is the second novel in the Hutch series, following The Engines of God.

Rated 5 starsWhen worlds collide
Jack McDevitt's fiction always reminds me of what I was reading back in the '50's, because I think he may have been reading the same stuff back then. What he's managed to do is take an old idea from SF and make it new again. A rogue planet - this time a gas giant - is passing through another solar system and is going to make hash of the system and swallow one of its planets. The question is, who cares? Well, the Academy...

Rated 5 starsSo little time....
I'm impressed with McDevitt's ability to make each novel quite distinctly different from its predecessors. "Deepsix" continues that progression and even though it is broadly set in a timeline he has used previously (and from a few hints contained in Deepsix, may return to again).Deepsix is a planet on countdown to annihilation by collision with a Galactic Wanderer in a matter of days. It provides the setting for a fast and...

Rated 5 starsAnother great McDevitt novel
He's done it again. McDevitt goes back to the Universe we met in "The Engines of God". He goes back to his best material, the archeological exploration of a planet with a lost civilization. No other auther can hold my attention as McDevitt does as we uncover the mysteries Deepsix has for its explorers. We even get a "chrichton-esque" countdown to add drama, but its been a long time since Michael Chrichton wrote anything...
