The Quick Guide to Classroom Management aims to be a concise and practical resource for high school educators, particularly those new to the profession. Delivered in a conversational tone, the book promises 45 "secrets" to effective classroom management. Due to the concise format, each "secret" receives a brief explanation. Readers seeking a more nuanced understanding of classroom management might find the book lacking in detail.
The book's focus is specifically on high school teachers. While some strategies might apply to other age groups, the approach might not translate well to elementary or middle school classrooms. While Rogers shares personal experiences, the book relies heavily on anecdotal evidence to support its claims. Educators seeking a research-based approach might find this unconvincing.
I ordered this for my daughter who is a geography teacher. She told me she found it useful and has actually recommended it to other teachers.
Useful read. It's always helpful to have ideas for classroom management. Thanks to Netgalley for the advance copy.
