Recent Product Reviews:
"If an educational professional wants to analyze and improve their classroom environment this book provides the theory behind actions to take and how to take those actions to effect change."
Betty Rivinus, Special Education - TOSA, Canby School District, OR
"Reclaiming Your Classroom: Relationship-Based Classroom Management is a must-read for any educator hoping to reach all students. The scaffolding provided by the authors will help transform any classroom into a positive learning environment!"
Melissa Miller, Sixth Grade Science/Math Teacher, Farmington Middle School, AR
"In light of students all over the country experiencing interrupted formal instruction in a classroom setting as well as white supremacy and racism coming to the forefront of conversations, there is a need for teachers to rethink how we are re-entering our classrooms in instruction and classroom management. This connection is not explicitly named, nor the premise of the book, but the need to reclaim and update systems in classrooms is absolutely relevant for all teachers but especially new teachers. I feel that this book scratches the surface on relationship building, resetting and classroom management and could be used as a starting place before diving deeper."
Macquin Brockington, English as a Second Language Teacher (K-5), Boston Public Schools, MA
"If you are looking for practical ways to make lasting change in your classroom, this is the handbook for you! Reclaiming Your Classroom has practical ideas that can be used for the individual teacher, team or school to address underlying issues of behavior that need to be addressed. This book has self assessment checklists and ready to go strategies the conscious educator needs in the classroom. If you are struggling to teach due to behavior issues, reclaim your time now with this must have classroom tool!"
Avis Canty-Duck, Instructional Technology Facilitator, Greenville County School District, SC
"Where theory meets practical application, this is the book we’ve been waiting for! Relationships, relationships, relationships….we know it is critical for success in the classroom, however, this goes a step further and shows us how. Educators of all levels will find useful information to make their classroom lives more successful. We need it and our kids deserve it."
Cindy Corlett, Principal/Educator , Littleton Public Schools, CO
