Innovative models for emphasising positive classroom climate and meeting diverse student needs inside and outside the classroom.

Chapman & King's innovative models for teaching in the differentiated classroom stress positive classroom climate, understanding student thinking styles, meeting diverse student needs, and empowering students both inside and outside the classroom. Applying those models to classroom management is the focus of this new book. Among the topics covered in their trademark lively style are creating safe and accepting classroom environments that promote confidence for diverse learners; motivating students through affective factors, including rapport, challenge, excitement, humor, respect, choice, and self-efficacy; observing and assessing student needs and preferences. Ready-to-use tools, agendas, check-lists, organizers, and other graphics provide added support to put theory in to practice.
