Classroom Management for Art Music and PE Teachers eBook Michael Linsin

I have taught music for many years, in all grade levels and music disciplines, and have now been assigned to a very tough elementary school where every teacher struggles with classroom management. I have studied classroom management in depth for years, reading extensively and going to workshop after workshop. I have gained a lot from my study and implementation of those methods. This is the first book, though, where the author of a book specifically addresses the unique challenges of teaching elementary "specialist" classes and understands the differences between teaching "classroom" classes and the specialist classes that are mostly back-to-back, whole-group teaching situations (with little time to see the students and whose subject matter is generally regarded as less important than the traditional academic subjects that are tied to high-stakes standardized testing). He gives specific instruction in how to have good skills in classroom management.

Linsin's acknowledgement that other teachers, parents, and administrators do not always understand that a specialist seeing 20 or more classes with varied homeroom teacher adherence to enforcement of classroom procedure expectations is the ultimate challenge in teaching elementary students, but that with consistence in following a classroom management plan and selling engaging lessons to the students, the specialist teacher can have a level of good classroom management. I received this book right before the last week of school, but the last week of school, I briefly taught all of the students the new music rules for next year and enforced them consistently. I also gave students a brief preview of one exciting thing that they would be doing before they entered the classroom. I already noticed a difference, and that was the last week of school!

Most other materials that I have previously read advocate giving a lot of praise and other rewards. Linsin's treatment of this subject and addressing teachers' lectures, questioning of students, and giving more time and individual attention to misbehaving students or shy students is very practical and helpful. It especially made me wish that all teachers could embrace these ideas. I have already read this book a number of times, have bought and read his other two books, and have subscribed to his website. Also, I have bought two copies of this book to give to my principal and art teacher in case they are interested in reading this book. I look forward to fully implementing all of the ideas in this book and his other two books for the coming school year.

Classroom Management for Art Music and PE Teachers eBook Michael Linsin Reviews

I absolutely loved reading this book. I'm not the type of person that likes to read books outside of my preferred genre of romance novels, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was very easy to read. I highlighted a lot of information that I plan on executing in my classroom. I highly recommend this book to art educators and other specialists.
This book was a gift for my son who last year taught middle school music in a public school setting and this year is teaching elementary music in a different school. He said this book is so good that he wished he could send this book to his colleagues as well as to his principal in his former school! He said it is a gold mine!
This book is great for specialist teachers who would like to have better classroom management. I found several helpful ideas and tips that I have already implemented in my classroom this year with success so far. I also appreciate that it is not a long and complicated read, but rather right to the point and very useful. This is perfect for someone who does not have a lot of time on their hands. It is definitely worth the cover price.
Excited to implement these simple strategies but they needed to be said. Great for a first time teacher or even if you've been in a classroom for awhile.
I've learned a ton about my parenting strategies in this book and his suggestions even work with my 4 yr old at home
I recommend this book to any teacher who instructs in elective classes. I was a college readiness teacher and found this very helpful. The only thing is that I wish I would've read it sooner so I could have implemented these changes early in the year! His tips are very straightforward and the way he writes is seamless. It makes you want to do it because he writes as if these changes are simple to do, which they actually are. It's about having the courage to try new things in the classroom and he encourages you to do so, for the better!
I was very impressed with the specificity of this book. Most books I've read on classroom management have been overly general and/or impractical, presenting the material from a theoretical or idealized point of view. This book gave me concrete, nuts-and-bolts ideas that I feel I can easily incorporate into my classroom routines. The fact that it was written by an elementary special subject teacher makes it all the more helpful for the intended audience.
I am in my second year of teaching elementary music. I read this book the weekend before school started this year and I have applied it nearly verbatim. My ability to manage the classroom has drastically improved. Last year, I didn't know what to do if a child misbehaved. Now, I have it down to a system. This book opened my eyes and essentially changed my life.

Here are my only concerns
1. This does not work for special education. I teach four self-contained classes of students with varying levels of ability, and I have not been able to adapt this system to work for them.
2. Some administrators do not approve of frequent time-outs as a punishment. Personally, I think it's fine if they are not given with a nagging or disapproving tone; it is just the consequence of unexpected behavior. However, I have been criticized by an experienced kindergarten classroom teacher for being too procedure-oriented.
3. I imagine it would be difficult to adapt this for secondary education. Maybe time-outs would have to be replaced by detention or a point off of a participation grade.

Overall, I totally love this book and I would recommend it to any elementary special area teacher. Experienced teachers may already understand these concepts or have their own classroom management styles established. Many experienced teachers simply command authority and do not need to rely on strategies like the ones in this book. But to anyone in their first few years of teaching, it's seriously helpful to have it all spelled out explicitly.
