No More Theories Please!: A Guide for Elementary Teachers is a classroom management guide for current and prospective elementary classroom teachers. In the book Masao discuss the 3 Rs of management—rules, routines, and reinforcement—as well as behavior management plans and organization. Some chapters provide templates of management systems that the author created and implemented successfully in her own classroom.Unlike many other education texts, this book does not speak in theoretical terms. Rather it provides a how-to guide that clearly defines each strategy and procedure. The book is divided into three sections: organization; routines, rules, and reinforcement; and classroom behavior management systems. Each section has three or four chapters and provides tangible and pragmatic steps that can be taken to create the structured environment desired. Masao writes with a conversational tone, guiding the reader through the process.
L. K. Masao received a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education from the College of Charleston and a Masters of Education from the George Washington University Graduate School of Education and Human Development. She has taught in Northern Virginia for Alexandria City Public Schools at a traditional academy.
