Eugene,
I can offer one suggestion for your consideration. I find a book
called, "Guided Reading: Good first teaching for all children" by Irene
Fountas and Gay Su Pinnell helpful. There is a chapter about managing the classroom. The whole book, while
written for teachers, is based on data from real classrooms.
Teacher education is difficult and finding quality readings is even
more so. Let me know if you find any good readings yourself. I'm always on
the lookout for readings that reflect what we now know about learning and
about the social construction of knowledge. It's difficult to find readings
that new teachers can relate to. They are always looking for the "how to"
stuff and not the "why."
Good luck,
Joanne
