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

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.
