The textbook’s authors do not embrace a single philosophy; they draw from many different authors, and points of view, just as you should in the classroom. To help you sample some of the writings on classroom management, each student is asked to read a book on classroom management, and prepare a short presentation (we will discuss when this will occur) to share the material with your classmates. You may choose any book that deals with the idea of classroom management. I prefer that each student read a different book to insure a wide range of sharing among the class. 4. **__Group/Partner Activities:__** (20 points in all) (group Case Studies with a response in writing) 5. **__Chapter Review and Presentation:__** (10 points) ** 6. ****__ Journal Review __** – You will be required to review 2 articles regarding classroom management and share them with the class.
