Includes a Helpful "Works" and "Does Not Work" Table of Methods

There are many books on classroom management, but this one is unique in that it compares effective and ineffective methods side-by-side (p. 221), especially for slower students. As an experienced teacher, I found this comparison quite useful. Examples: NOT WORK "Unstructured activities or free time." WORK "Structured learning activities." NOT WORK "Mostly open-ended questions." WORK "Mostly narrow teacher questions with a `right' answer." NOT WORK "Vague or general praise." WORK "Specific praise for good performance."
