Classroom management can make or break your teaching. But as educators know, there is no one-fits-all solution for every classroom. That is why bestselling authors Todd Whitaker, Madeline Whitaker Good, and Katherine Whitaker came together to write this book. They created a guide combining sound research with practical wisdom so educators could have a classroom management resource written by teachers for teachers. From this book, you’ll gain effective strategies for designing and improving your classroom management from the ground up. You’ll learn how the three core aspects of classroom management (relationships, high and clear expectations, and consistency) can be used to build and maintain an effectively-run classroom. You’ll also find out how to tweak minor issues and reset major challenges when things don’t go as planned. Each chapter covers a core aspect of classroom management and includes a foundational understanding of the concept, powerful stories and examples, how-to applications, and tips on tweaking as problems arise. In addition, each chapter features a "What You Can Do Tomorrow" section--strategies you can implement immediately. Whether you are a new or experienced teacher, this book will empower you to identify what is going well, adjust what needs to be changed, and feel more prepared for the unexpected.

This NEW edition is the friendly how-to book educators need to increase desired behavior in today's K-12 classrooms.

This six-page (tri-fold) laminated guide provides information on using principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) to teach students who have autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ABA is strongly supported as an evidence-based practice and is highly recommended for students with ASD. Designed for use in both inclusive and special education environments, Autism: Classroom Success with Applied Behavior Analysis is a valuable tool for teachers and paraprofessionals trained to use ABA in their classrooms, especially those who are consulting with board certified behavior analysts (BCBAs). It also serves as a useful resource for parents whose children are receiving ABA services. Written by experienced special education teachers who are also BCBAs, this guide includes clear descriptions of principles of ABA such as reinforcement, prompting, modeling, and shaping along with examples for instruction in the classroom to teach language, social, and academic skills. Also included are strategies for collecting data, monitoring progress, and reducing interfering behavior.
