Classroom Management in Teacher Education Programs

Focusing on the integration of culturally relevant classroom management strategies, this book explores their impact on urban secondary education pre-service methods courses. It highlights the challenges faced by students lacking classroom management training through case studies of a control cohort. In contrast, it showcases the benefits experienced by an experimental cohort who engaged in an integrative curriculum. The book proposes the DCMA framework as a guide for teacher educators to enhance methods courses, ultimately improving teacher preparation and early career experiences.
