Ch.7 - Outcomes Approaches to Classroom Management

Outcomes approaches focus on the relationship between classroom processes (teaching) and outcomes (what the students learn and how they behave).

Big Idea #1:  Jones's Positive Classroom Management focuses on cooperation among teachers and students and holds students responsible for their actions.

Big Idea #2:  Beginning-of-the-year planning and communication is paramount to Evertson and Harris.

Big Idea #3:  Schoolwide models of classroom management can be very effective.  I agree, because I think the more teachers who adopt similar management styles, the more consistent a student's education will be from one year to the next.  The our country's laws and many business models are always consistent and similar, so classrooms should do the same thing to reflect this real-world experience.
