Classroom Management

The University of New Orleans' College of Education maintains a web page dedicated specifically to topics of interest to classroom management. The web site, which can be found at url http://ss.uno.edu/ss/homepages/cmanage.html, contains a thorough set of links that can guide the prospective student or professional educator toward finding other websites of interest. The parent web site for the University of New Orleans' Social Studies programs can be found at url http://ss.uno.edu/. Although the University of New Orleans' classroom management website is not easily accessible through popular search engines like Google, and although it can be a little bit tricky to locate the classroom management links directly through the department's home page, once found the set of links will prove invaluable for the graduate student or professional educator. The team members who maintain the website are named as Mary M. Banbury and James H. Miller, whose e-mail addresses are offered at the top of the "Classroom Management Links" web page.

The authors included a full thirty-nine separate links that relate to classroom management. Most of the links are informative reports, either reproductions of scholarly research articles or sites that are based on scholarly research. The list of links serves essentially as an annotated bibliography of World Wide Web sites. The first link in the list, "Schoolwide and Classroom Discipline," directs the user to Kathleen Cotton's page which is part of the School Improvement Research Series (SIRS). This extensive website sites sixty documents on various topics of classroom management and related educational issues.

The second site in the list, "You Can Handle It" is a user-friendly website containing a wealth of information about misbehaving and discipline for both teachers and parents. "Discipline with Dignity," the next link in the list, addresses topics of interest regarding disciplinary issues related to difficult students such as those with ADHD or those who exhibit violent behavior. "Consistency Management and Cooperative Discipline" is a website addressing a specific type of classroom management program that has been empirically reviewed and tested. Such sites are of immense importance to the subject of classroom management.
