Classroom Management

Perspectives on the Social Curriculum

by Richard R. Powell, H. James McLaughlin, Tom V. Savage, Stanley Zehm, James H. McLaughlin, Thomas V. Savage

Published 2000315 pagesISBN 978-0-1346-0908-9

This book provides ongoing activities to equip teachers with the ability to construct and refine their existing personal theories, philosophies, and metaphors for managing culturally diverse classrooms. The authors' unique approach of combining diversity issues with management issues challenges readers to conduct action research on a topic that brings the two themes together. Specific coverage of very practical aspects of classroom management includes developing routines, promoting responsibility, and responding to problems. This content helps teachers come to terms with the day-to-day reality of working on management with parameters of diversity. For teachers of all grade levels.

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Philosophy. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.

Good to know

A comfortable full-length choice for steady daily reading.

Begin with its place in Philosophy, then notice where the book resists that label.

Try this reading approach

Read for connection, not completion.

Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.

Three questions to carry with you

  1. What question is the author really asking beneath the book’s main argument?
  2. Which claim challenges one of your familiar assumptions?
  3. What remains unresolved—and is that uncertainty useful?
