Many teachers-in-training and their more experienced colleagues find classroom management challenging. Using what works: Elementary School Classroom Management invites elementary school to look beyond untested teacher strategies. Instead this book presents an evidence-based approach. Equipped with a greater knowledge of scientifically informed classroom management, teachers will learn how and why some things work, while others do not.

The most current knowledge on classroom management is presented in this book in six comprehensive, yet, easily assessable chapters. Numerous evidence-based strategies for supporting classroom management are offered. In addition, interventions that have proven to work are described. Each chapter concludes with recommended readings, course assignments, and suggestions for in-depth discussions.

About the Author

Using What Works: Elementary School Classroom Management is significant in two important, unique ways. First, unlike most other texts, this one presents research-based principles in which professional educators can have confidence. There is no fly-by-night stuff here. Second, and equally important, Dr. McClowry presents a student-focused framework necessary for emotionally safe learning environments. Presented in clear, understandable language, this text will be useful for any classroom management course and is a “must-have” for every teacher’s professional library.
