Classroom Management

This book was used for my Master's class and it is a book I kept for my collection.

Excellent quality, bad advice

This is some of the most non-applicable information I've ever read in my life!!! The quality and time it took to get the product was fine, but the info only applies to suburban school districts, NOT to the urban setting.

Good companion to the book of same title, very pratical.

The book gives teachers the concrete help they need in the classroom. It's more than the theory and statistics that come in the firts book.

Excellent book for help with classroom management

This book gave great examples of classroom management. I found it very easy to read and understand. This book should hold a place in every teacher's bookshelf.

Great for Professional Book Study with Teachers!

I used this book to guide a book study with elementary teachers in a school where I was the principal. All teachers in the study were reading Marzano's Classroom Instruction that works and a couple of us had a copy of this book to bring in additional information and activities to enhance our study. Both books present the "cut to the chase" version of research that many teachers appreciate because of their busy schedules. The books present strategies that have been proven repeatedly to be effective and professionals who have looked carefully at Marzano's work know that it is scholarly work. He has, however, tried to present it in a very down to earth fashion. No high brow research jargon here. Teachers appreciated and learned from the study and the structure and additional information this guide brought to our work together was an significant factor.
