Overview
Many teachers who work in urban schools find classroom management to be very problematic. Their university course work, and training, didn’t prepare them for the heavy demands of being an urban school teacher. Urban educators need to be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively manage adverse behaviors, and still deliver a quality education to all students. Classroom Management: A Guide for Urban School Teachers is designed to give educators practical strategies that will help them deal with the unique challenges faced by urban school teachers today. Whether the teacher is a novice teaching professional, or an experienced veteran; he/she will be able to learn how to establish and maintain control over the classroom environment, effectively deal with the most extreme student misbehaviors, establish rapport with students and parents, and reduce the amount of students sent to the principal’s office on referrals. After reading this book, teachers will be able to combat the negative forces that adversely affect the classroom setting, and be able to concentrate on teaching and learning.

Reviews
This book is a must read for any teacher who has classroom management issues. The tenets of the book are very practical and make a ton of sense. Teachers can apply this book to all grade levels and ages of students. -- Blair, Dr. Carlos As an instructional coach, I work with a lot of teachers who have classroom management issues. I've used Dr. Yisrael's work to assist me with helping teachers to properly manage their classrooms, and to provide them with an additional resource. -- Harriston, Angela This book is truly what teachers need. It is packed with strategies that actually work in the toughest of classroom settings. Many classroom management books take on a one size fits all approach , but Dr. Yisrael's book is not like that. His book is actually linked to what teachers experience every day. The strategies truly resonate with the often harsh realities and difficulties teachers face while trying to teach students. -- Gorbet, Jessica The chapter on parental engagement is excellent. I wish all teachers took this approach when dealing with the parental community. -- Weems, Tia L. The strategies in this book has truly made a difference in my classroom. I have less referrals, but more importantly, I feel more confident about my ability to handle issues as they arise. -- Hebron, Julie
