Please post your two bibliography sources here, remembering to describe and connect to your practical theory and/or puzzle of practice. These should be posted by Wednesday, June 9. Thanks!
Classroom management is a pretty big concern for most educators, especially beginning teachers. The first article that I found discusses different tips and techniques that teachers can use in order to better their classroom management skills. This fits into the “puzzle of practice” of being able to effectively manage a classroom from the first day of school through the rest of the year.

The second article I found details different techniques for managing a classroom from when students walk into a class at the beginning of a period until they leave at the end of the period. There are several valuable tips included that will help teachers create a successful learning environment in their classrooms

This first article comments in depth about classroom management defined as the organization of the classroom as a learning environment; the management of student discipline, order, and care; the grouping of students for different tasks and patterns of interaction; and the individualization of student learning. My puzzle of practice speaks to how classroom management is more about correcting behavior problems.

Can't really go wrong with Marzano - Marzano's research strategies on classroom management are very useful. My favorite section in this book speaks about building relationships as a foundation. This is one of a few books that I lug around with me all the time. This book is the essence of my puzzle of practice, or more like my Bible to classroom management.
The first article I found is more or less a list of the 7 elements that must be in place for an effective classroom. It then discusses why each of these elements are important.

This first article is written with the frame of mind that classroom management is the train tracks and instruction is the train. Taylor claims that classroom management is one of the most important aspects of being a classroom teacher. He looks at is as more that just structure and rules but as the general attitude of the teacher. He provides effective tips for classroom teachers.

My cooperating school is a PBS school. I believe in the PBS model and saw results of it. However, for me the puzzle of practice was how to balance giving the positive behavior support while also being able to give logical consequences where they were necessary.
My first article is about how using a PBS model, versus a "zero-tolerance" policy can prevent students from being pushed out of the education system into the judicial system.
