Effective classroom management is critical for student and teacher success. Because teachers receive limited preservice preparation and in-service support in classroom management, educational leaders (e.g., school psychologists, behavior coaches, mentor teachers, and administrators) need efficient and effective tools to identify teachers' strengths and needs and to guide professional development. Current approaches to assess teachers' classroom management are either (a) simple and efficient, but have unknown psychometric properties, or (b) psychometrically sound, but resource intensive. Thus, a Classroom Management Observation Tool (CMOT) that is simple, efficient, and has promising psychometric properties would fill a critical need in the field. This article describes the initial development and validation of the CMOT-a four-item rating of teachers' active supervision, opportunities to respond, specific praise, and positive to corrective ratio-and presents promising evidence of content validity, factor structure, interrater reliability, construct validity, and generalizability. Further research is needed to develop this tool for screening, progress monitoring, and other assessment purposes. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

课堂管理观察工具（CMOT）的初步验证。

有效的课堂管理对于学生和老师的成功至关重要。由于教师在课堂管理中获得的职前准备和在职支持有限，因此教育领导者（例如，学校心理学家，行为教练，导师和管理人员）需要高效且有效的工具来确定教师的长处和需求并指导专业发展。当前评估教师课堂管理的方法要么是（a）简单高效，但心理测度特性未知，要么（b）心理测度合理，但资源密集。因此，简单，有效且具有良好心理测度特性的教室管理观察工具（CMOT）将满足该领域的关键需求。本文介绍了CMOT的初步开发和验证-一项由教师进行积极监督，做出回应的机会，特殊表扬以及积极与纠正的比率的四项评分-并提出了内容有效性，因素结构，人际信度，构造有效性和普遍性。需要进一步研究来开发用于筛选，进度监控和其他评估目的的工具。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。和其他评估目的。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。和其他评估目的。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
