This volume describes basic concepts and strategies for thinking about instructional classroom management and reviews general strategies for rethinking and reorganizing a classroom to reflect an instructional classroom management approach. Instructional classroom management approaches student behavior based on the premise that strategies for teaching and managing social behavior are not different from strategies for teaching subject matter. By their very nature classroom and behavior management procedures are instructional and designed to impart information on how to behave. Pedagogical features of the volume include examples, chapter overviews, figures and tables, chapter summaries, chapter activities that require application of the chapter's subject to the classroom, and suggested readings for each chapter.
