"The book "Classroom Management" deals with various aspects of education pertaining to the students in a classroom in order to safeguard their rights, especially those of exceptional learners, handicapped mentally retarded students.

Fueller identified classroom management as a primary focus of concern among student teachers. Experienced teachers mention it as a major problem and administrators and parents stress it in evaluating teacher competence. Yet, there is no systematic theory and little systematic research on the topic.

Besides, grouping of students for learning, behavioural and environmental theories, research and practice of classroom instruction and management are dealt in this book. The book will prove a useful compendium for educationists, psychologists, planners and administrators in the field of imparting education to the people at large." (jacket)
