About the Book

Classroom Management and Aggressive Behavior

I will like to describe my book on classroom management. The book defines classroom management as approaches used by teachers to maintain order during classroom lessons in the event of distractive behavior caused by students. My book gives account of the importance of classroom management, with particular attention addressed to aggressive behavior. Therefore, the role played by classroom management in ensuring that non-educational issues like aggressive behavior and other misconducts are delinked from a teacher’s lesson, are specifically presented in this publication.

In addressing classroom management, the book divides the management into three main components namely; the covenant management, content management, and conduct management. Therein, each of the mentioned components is described in detail where observable elements associated with effectual teaching practices are presented in a list. In retrospect, the book provides useful tips to the learning process and classroom management, the two being imperative.

With specific attention given to aggressive behaviors, my book defines this behavior as unwarranted act of violence against others or oneself, and is committed either verbally or physically. My book points out particular classroom management approaches that can be utilized by teachers to handle aggressive behavior. The approaches include preparedness for lessons, student motivation, initiating discipline effectively, creating conducive learning environment, creating self-esteem among student, and drawing an interactive lesson plan. The book however points out that teachers, depending on the situation may devise other approaches. Also notably clarified on this topic is that, classroom management approaches may differ from one teacher to the other.

Finally, my book addresses various ways that can be used to treat aggression. Aggression is described as treatable in three stages and these include immediate, behavioral, and long-term stages.
