Classroom management: what are teachers' declared strategies and sources of inspiration? An analysis grid

This document presents an analysis tool developed as part of a research project aimed at a) identifying the classroom management strategies that novice teachers in Wallonia-Brussels Federation (FW-B) report implementing in their classrooms, b) studying the sources of information they report using to select these strategies, and c) comparing their reported strategies with strategies whose effectiveness has been demonstrated by scientific research. It should be stressed that the tool presented in this Working-Paper is not intended to assert that all teachers' practices can be determined a priori by empirical research. It has been designed for research purposes. Its aim is to enable teachers to take a reflective look at the sources of information they use to select their classroom management strategies.
