How Teachers and Students Can Work Together

Arguing, excluding classmates, "forgetting" to do homework, balking at sharing. These common problems can disrupt learning, frustrate children, and exhaust teachers. This book gives you five strategies for working with children to solve these sorts of problems: problem-solving conferences, conflict resolution, role-playing, class meetings, and individual written agreements. With warmth, wit, and deep insight into classroom life, veteran teacher Caltha Crowe guides teachers in making the most of each strategy. She includes detailed steps, true stories from classrooms, actual conversations with students, and answers to real teachers' questions. Interactive planning pages will help you adapt the strategies for your own students.

This modern classic celebrates the individuality in all of us and the joy of artistic expression. Tommy knows he wants to be an artist when he grows up.
