Temperament-Based Elementary Classroom Management

Description:

"Temperament Based Elementary Classroom Management presents an alternative to the 'one size fits all' classroom approach. An alternative framework, presented in this book, asserts that teachers need to incorporate knowledge about temperament into their strategies for classroom management. As studies have demonstrated, targeted temperament-based strategies succeed where global disciplinary practices have failed. Because students differ in their temperaments, variations in classroom behavior are to be expected. Once teachers learn the major tenets of temperament, they no longer view their students as intentionally misbehaving; instead they understand how the temperaments of their students influence their classroom behavior. Such insights release teachers from engaging in futile battles with their students. They can then redirect their energies into enhancing their relationships with their students, implementing effective temperament-based strategies, and, as a result, spend more time on instructional activities."--Publisher's Website.
