Keep CALM and Teach
Autor Victoria Lentferen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 sep 2018
Această lucrare reprezintă o referință profesională esențială pentru cadrele didactice, fiind utilă atât studenților aflați în stagii de practică, cât și profesorilor cu experiență care caută metode noi de gestionare a microclimatului școlar. Apreciem în mod deosebit pragmatismul cu care Victoria Lentfer abordează managementul clasei, transformând concepte teoretice complexe într-un cadru de lucru ușor de reținut sub acronimul CALM. Structura cărții facilitează o progresie logică: după prezentarea fundamentelor comunicării pozitive, textul trece la implementarea propriu-zisă a modelului de redirecționare a comportamentului (Redirect Behavior Model).
Spre deosebire de abordările pur teoretice, volumul publicat de Corwin se distinge prin includerea unor scenarii de tip script, care oferă răspunsuri concrete la situații tensionate din viața reală a clasei. Găsim în capitolele dedicate comunicării și responsabilității un echilibru între cercetarea academică și aplicabilitatea imediată, oferind instrumente pentru combaterea bullying-ului și gestionarea situațiilor speciale. Alternativă la Creating Calm Classrooms pentru cursurile de pedagogie și management educațional, Keep CALM and Teach are avantajul unei structuri extrem de riguroase, oferind „victorii rapide” (Quick Wins) la finalul fiecărui capitol, ceea ce o face ideală pentru profesorii care au nevoie de soluții ce pot fi aplicate începând cu ora următoare.
Stilul editorial este unul direct, axat pe rezultate, eliminând ambiguitatea în interacțiunea profesor-elev. Autorul pune un accent deosebit pe 'Leadership' și 'Accountability', sugerând că o clasă productivă nu este rezultatul controlului autoritar, ci al unei comunități în care așteptările sunt explicite, iar elevii sunt încurajați să își asume responsabilitatea pentru propriul comportament.
