Class Management in the Secondary School

Successful secondary teachers operate in many different ways, but they have one thing in common - an ability to manage their classrooms effectively. Without the skills required to do this, the most inspiring and knowledgeable teacher will fail. In this text, the author aims to help teachers to clarify their own aims and to find the strategies which will work for them. Topics covered include first encounters, the establishment of rules and relationships, management of time and space and specific discipline problems.
