"Creating Positive Elementary Classrooms includes straightforward, feasible, and evidenced-based strategies designed to prevent behavior problems in K-5 classrooms. With an exclusive classroom focus, this practitioner-friendly book encourages teachers to be proactive in classroom management and guides them through the process of setting up their classrooms to maximize learning while focusing on prevention. Its emphasis on behavior problems before they occur enables teachers to run their classrooms more efficiently and experience less frustration, while also increasing student learning.
