OverviewEducator or Bully? offers a comprehensive approach to classroom management for both novice and veteran teachers who are interested in examining their current classroom management performance, especially with respect to how it reflects the characteristics of the 21st century classroom. Practices presented are based on sound educational theory. There is an emphasis on the responsibility the student should have in successful classroom management. Part I covers the guidelines that deal with everyday classroom management interactions with a focus on contemporary approaches. These chapters discuss preventive measures followed by reactive procedures that teachers can implement once problems have occurred. Punishment and logical consequences are distinguished and educative techniques in handling misbehavior are demonstrated. Part I concludes with a thorough consideration regarding how to organize and maintain the physical classroom environment and how to prepare for the beginning of school. Part II reviews students through teacher-centered strategies (systems) to deal with diverse classroom needs. These strategies are tailored so that the least intrusive to those in which the teacher has more control reflect 21st century attributes.

She provides a wealth of information on up-to-date thinking in the area of classroom management, guiding questions that encourage self-reflection for individual processing, and topics for study groups. Mostly, she brings the discussion back to what individual teachers can do to keep themselves knowledgeable, centered, competent, and in control when confronted with behavioral challenges. -- Cathy Rikhye, Ed.D. Educator or Bully? offers a clear, concise, and refreshing way to manage a classroom by showing teachers how to empower students to take responsibility for themselves and for each other. It is my opinion that the guidelines presented to accomplish this goal should be instituted system-wide in every school district. This book contains many great classroom management examples covering K-12 classes and is backed by solid research. An added bonus is that it is an enjoyable, pleasant read. I will use this book in my staff development consulting and would also recommend that novices read and learn its contents before they get trapped into the currently predominant way of managing classrooms. -- Vincent S. Ziccolella, Ph.D. As an educator who taught and supervised teachers on all levels as well as well as undergraduate and graduate college students, I am not aware of any other book that offers such a comprehensive and state-of-the-art perspective of classroom management. This excellent book provides new and veteran teachers at all levels to build successful, innovative strategies and techniques for the rest of their careers. -- Annemarie V. Russo Romagnoli Pagliaro strikes the perfect balance between theory and practice in this context. Many pedagogical illustrations support accepted theory in this primer on classroom management.
