Classroom Management Q&As: Expert Strategies for Teaching

Many teachers today are looking for sustainable, authentic solutions on classroom management and student engagementâ€”two key aspects of effective instruction. What better way to find them than to tap the collective wisdom of expert educators? In this ebook, award-winning teacher and Education Week Teacher blogger Larry Ferlazzo investigates some of the thorniest problems in teaching by turning to leading educators for advice. Ferlazzo and his contributors respond Q&A-style to a variety of pressing classroom-management and student-engagement questions, such as:Â
Â Â Â Â
â€¢ How can I get the new school year off to a good start?
â€¢ How can I help my students develop self-control?
â€¢ How can I stop disruptive behavior in my classroom?
â€¢ How can I engage students without resorting to a carrots-and-sticks approach?
â€¢ What does true student engagement look like?

This ebook brings together the best contributions from Ferlazzoâ€™s Education Week Teacher blog â€œClassroom Q&A With Larry Ferlazzo.â€ Ferlazzo, who teaches English, social studies, and International Baccalaureate classes to students at Luther Burbank High School in Sacramento, Calif., offers his take on effective classroom management along with a network of leading experts. Together, they provide the strategy-based answers that get to the heart of high-quality instruction.

Critical Acclaim for Classroom Q&As:

"Lots of people have answers in education, but no one has all the answers. Larry Ferlazzo knows this better than anyone. Thatâ€™s why his 'Classroom Q&A' blog, a go-to source for educators, features such a diverse group of contributors. In Classroom Management Q&Aâ€™s, Expert Strategies for Teaching, Ferlazzo gathers experts, authors, administrators, and star teachers in one place and lets them answer teachersâ€™ most pressing classroom management questions. The result is a series of helpful pieces that are short enough to read at lunch or even between periods."
--Roxanna Elden, NBCT, speaker, and author of See Me After Class: Advice for Teachers by Teachers

"Instead of trusting your best instincts in the moment, wouldnâ€™t it be great if you could hit â€œpauseâ€ and enlist the advice of trusted colleagues?... The conversational tone, peppered with personal reflections from Ferlazzo, makes for quick but rewarding reading. I can imagine teachers dipping into these digital pages repeatedly, picking up a gem or two of advice to improve their practice. The book also lends itself to staff discussions. Many of the questionsâ€”How can I connect with disengaged students? Can teachers be friends with students?â€”set the stage for reflective conversations about teaching and learning."
