Recenzje

"Assisting teachers with classroom management while respecting their professionalism is an important challenge. If you're a school consultant or coach interested in classroom management, you need this practical book."--Jim Knight, PhD, Center for Research on Learning, University of Kansas

"This informative book provides an excellent solution to a very common challenge facing classroom consultants--how to persuade teachers to implement research-based strategies to facilitate behavior change. The Classroom Check-Up incorporates much of what we know about good consultation and good teaching into a concise and straightforward method of implementation. The interview examples, checklists, and observation forms are especially helpful. This book can be used by school psychologists, teachers, and other classroom consultants who regularly work with school staff on classroom management and behavior concerns. I recommend this book for graduate-level classes in consultation and collaboration techniques. Students will benefit from its practical advice on how to be effective interviewers and consultants, as well as its research-based strategies for effective classroom management and instruction."--Brian C. McKevitt, PhD, School Psychology Program, University of Nebraska at Omaha

"This book provides a great blend of strong research foundations; practical, hands-on applications; and vibrant examples. It addresses both assessment and intervention in a critical context. The book will be extremely useful for consultants and school administrators."--Sylvie Naar, PhD, Director, Division of Behavioral Sciences, Department of Family Medicine and Public Health Services, Wayne State University
