One major skill every good teacher must have is classroom management. If you can’t get and keep your classroom under control, you won’t last long as a teacher, and kids can smell fear. So, how does one simply dust off their classroom management skills in preparation to teach a new school year? It helps if you start by doing some reading and studying with classroom management books.
What Classroom Management Books Have to Offer
Whether you are a seasoned teacher or you are fresh out of college, a good source to go back to for classroom management are those textbooks that first taught you how. They might be a little dusty now, or maybe you are so experienced you never had such a class as that. Either way, it paves the way for buying the latest texts on how to manage your classroom. These texts will give you all kinds of new pointers and new techniques you can use on a daily basis that are in line with your state and district’s teaching expectations.
Keep These Books in Your Teacher Resource Cabinet
Almost every teacher on the planet has a resource cabinet, that go-to cabinet that stores your supplies, books, and resources to help you with difficult or challenging problems. Keep your classroom management books in there so that you can brush up from time to time or whenever you have had a very challenging interaction with students.
