High-Functioning Classrooms: Improving the Delivery Skills of Pk-12 Teachers - Hardcover

by Mark A. Marchese (Author)

Instruction in the areas of professional organization, planning, and learning theory, especially as it pertains to precluding student disciplinary issues, has been diminished in most teacher preparation programs. High-Functioning Classrooms addresses those areas of concern by providing a rapid orientation, based on decades of practical experience, to ways in which a teacher can provide the structure and order which students crave and to work more efficiently. Designed to improve the organizational, planning, and instructional delivery skills of PK-12 classroom teachers, the approach and flow of the book takes classroom teachers through a chronological sequence of what to expect, how to properly prepare for such expected events, and how to learn from those experiences.
