As we have talked about in educational psychology, there is nothing more important for beginning teachers (see "Chalk" one more time if you aren't fully convinced) than effective classroom management skills. There are many resources online but a couple of resources you should check out are: "The Building Blocks of Positive Behavior" and "Creating a Positive School Climate for Learning." The Minneapolis Public Schools has adopted this program and have used it with success. Mr. Lowrey, the social studies teacher in "Chalk" could have benefited from access to these links.
