Motivational Interviewing for Effective Classroom Management

Highly accessible and user-friendly, this book focuses on helping K-12 teachers increase their use of classroom management strategies that work. It addresses motivational aspects of teacher consultation that are essential, yet often overlooked. The Classroom Check-Up is a step-by-step model for assessing teachers' organizational, instructional, and behavior management practices; helping them develop a menu of intervention options; and overcoming obstacles to change. Easy-to-learn motivational interviewing techniques are embedded throughout. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes 20 reproducible forms, checklists, and templates.

This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas.
