Transformative Classroom Management

A proven approach for encouraging the love of learning in the classroom In this book, John Shindler, an expert on classroom management and school climate, describes the innovative technique of Transformative Classroom Management (TCM). He shows K???12 teachers how to improve teaching methods, student behavior, and student achievement by bringing out the positive feelings that naturally exist in the classroom. Shindler offers new strategies for creating a high-functioning class, developing a classroom social contract, dealing with challenging students, promoting a “psychology of success," and creating a climate defined by student responsibility and motivation. John Shindler, PhD (Bellevue, WA), is an Associate Professor at California State University, Los Angeles, chair of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) Special Interest Group for School Climate, Culture, and Community, and codirector of the Western Alliance for the Study of School Climate.
