Classroom management tips

Looking for some new ideas for classroom management?  Is your school trying to be more positive in your approach to rules and discipline?  Here are some resources:

1.  I've been reading the Smart Classroom Management blog and I think it's got some great advice, and would be a great resource to give to your beginning teachers or even student teachers.

Just to give you an idea, the last few posts have been:
How to Be A Better, Happier Teacher By Slowing Down
How To Stop Repeating Yourself And Start Speaking With Power
How To Inspire Classroom Management Excellence

2.  I also really like Love and Logic and have been in a few schools where all the teachers are trained in this style.  I just did a training with some of the staff at my current school and found the Love and Logic website has some handouts for teachers here: Free Resources for Teachers

3. A good book is Lost at School (the same author who wrote The Explosive Child).  I really appreciated the idea that when students can't learn math we teach them, or when they can't read we teach them; we can do the same with behavior.  After I read The Explosive Child I gave it to a teacher friend who worked in our intervention room and though skeptical, she loved it.  I then gave it to my principal who also found it inspiring.

4.  I recently read Discipline with Dignity and found it has some good content.  A quick read and some good reminders about how our approach to discipline can either influence kids to want to behave or scare them into not getting caught.
