Where Make Me! and Understanding Youth are being used
“Thank you for writing Make Me! I have taught courses on culturally responsive classroom management for the last few years and have yet to encounter any other text that comes close to addressing the myriad issues in classroom management as well as your book has . . . I especially appreciate how each section is grounded in theories and concepts, as well as practical applications of those concepts. I look forward to revamping my syllabus next year with your book as the anchor.”
In Middle and High School Professional Development Initiatives:
- For example, the Boston Teacher Residency Program (BTR) has adopted Make Me! to guide teachers as they build, analyze, and improve their classroom management procedures.
- See this link for an overview of the work BTR is doing.
- BTR has produced a graphic organizer to help educators see and use student resistance productively.
- They've created a "what to look for" guide to help teachers see what's happening in the classroom.
- They've identified a list of "resistance-busting strategies" teachers can use to channel student behaviors into more productive activities.
- And they've created a form to track various forms of student resistance and the approaches educators use to respond to it
- A high school principal in Virginia has adapted Make Me! and one of Dr. Toshalis's recent articles for Educational Leadership to orient his school's faculty toward more productive responses to student (mis)behavior.
