Creating and managing an effective classroom management and discipline system in today's urban classroom can be an arduous task for even the most competent teacher, let alone those who are new to the classroom. Urban teachers are faced with unique challenges, (poor working conditions, limited administrative support, and under resourced environments), that impact implementation and supervision of an effective classroom management plan, and often influences the teacher to transfer to another school or district or leave the profession all together.The basis of "I'll See You in Court" Supporting Social Justice, Diversity, Equity, and Critical Thinking Through Classroom Management and Discipline in Urban Schools, is to provide aspiring and veteran teachers with a classroom model that highlights an instructional and relational approach for managing the urban classroom. Authentic learning opportunities are centered, and provide the means to integrate social justice, cultural responsiveness, problem solving, and communication skills.This classroom management text is using a legal framework in order to catch the reader's attention, and to get the reader and in turn, classroom students, to understand that just as "societal management" has rules and consequences, it also includes the promise of due process which hopefully leads to equitable and fair outcomes. "I'll See You In Court" is a fun way for teachers and students to make sense of classroom management in a practical and analogous application.
