Teaching Behavior: Managing Classrooms Through Effective Instruction, (Paperback)

The key to effective classroom management starts with instruction

Every teacher knows that the perfect lesson plan is useless without effective classroom management. But what's the best way to foster student engagement, differentiate instruction, handle disruptive students, and promote positive behavior? The answer is in how you teach.

It draws on the most current evidence-based practices and rich, real-world examples to get to the heart of effective teaching. A national expert in behavior and special education, Terry Scott shares clear, detailed and proven instructional strategies to maximize student success. Teaching Behavior is ideal as a teacher guide or textbook, offering
