Responsible Classroom Management, Grades 6-12: A Schoolwide Plan

Allen Queen and Bob Algozzine’s Responsible Classroom Management, Grades 6-12 provides principals and teachers with a nationally tested schoolwide discipline plan that emphasizes a team approach to discipline and management and teaches students to solve problems, self-correct behavior, and develop an internal locus of control. Rooted in humanist and cognitive psychology, the authors’ practical model for Responsible Classroom Management (RCMPlan™) for middle and high school levels is specifically designed for adolescents at various stages of development. The RCMPlan™ uses three key principles to demonstrate how schools can use behavior support systems to promote good citizenship and develop responsible students who can live productively in a democratic and multicultural society: Responsibility is taught and incorporated instructionally within a warm and inviting classroomStandards, guidelines and expected behaviors replace rigid school and classroom ruleConsequences are used to teach students to self-correct inappropriate behaviors and assume responsibility for their actions
