Designing Effective Classroom Management contains all the information needed for a teacher to be effective in classroom management.”

“If you want to enhance your students academic achievement and social behavior competence, then you need to get a copy of Jason Harlachers book, Designing Effective Classroom Management. Jason integrates academic and classroom management practices that are solidly grounded in the behavioral sciences and are empirically tested in classrooms. Equally important, he offers clear descriptions of implementation in actual classroom settings and situations. I particularly like the deliberate integration of explicit academic and behavior instruction. Finally, throughout the book, the importance of data-based decision making is stressed. Without information about learning progress and teaching implementation, classroom management is likely to be inefficient and ineffective. Improve your teaching and your students learning by adopting the practices in this book.”

George Sugai, professor, special education, University of Connecticut
