Classroom management is always a hot topic among teachers as it is something that is always in constant need of attention. Students need a safe and appropriate environment in which to learn and a teacher's classroom management skills attest to that environment.
Joe Ducharme, a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto, has researched and studied classroom management for years. He is a specialist in the field of emotional and behavioural problems in the classroom and regularly trains teachers on effective practices to use. Whether students have severe, mild, or no significant behavioural or emotional issues, using his theory of "Errorless Classroom Management" skills can be effective for any classroom. I have read this article and tested many of the points therein and can say that they are indeed, very effective and appropriate uses for implementing classroom management. I appreciate the positive approach and the able-mindedness that Ducharme possesses and I believe that any teacher and teacher-to-be can learn from this article.
