This fifth book in the Breaking the Mold series addresses classroom management from a 21st Century perspective. It is a valuable resource not only for pre-service and newly-hired teachers, but for all teachers who are committed to creating vibrant learning environments where active student engagement, high expectations, a collaborative spirit, and a culture of respect permeate the atmosphere. The practical strategies presented in the book will assist teachers in transitioning from controlled learning environments to classrooms where shared leadership is evident.As the roles of leaders and learners blur within a classroom and the borders of classrooms blend into a larger learning environment, this resource will provide valuable guidance to teachers, learners and leaders on all levels.The importance of integrating voice and choice into effective learning environments is emphasized throughout the book. A focus on individual needs (academic and social) within a collaborative setting helps highly effective teachers promote student success. The active engagement of students in lesson design, assessment and interpersonal relations is also a cornerstone of the highly effective classroom. The practical suggestions presented by the contributors of this book will help teachers develop practices to support the establishment of these elements within their classrooms.
