Product Description:
Take Back the Classroom and Make a Positive Difference in Your Students' Lives
Many teachers today are facing problems and discipline issues they never dreamed of when they decided to become teachers. Combine violence, behavioral disorders, and downright defiant attitudes from students with the age-old problems of bullying, poor attendance, and more, and the mix is positively lethal. However, there are effective, positive strategies for restoring order and turning the teacher-student relationship into one of mutual respect.
Applicable to all grade levels, this comprehensive A to Z guide addresses modern-day problems and practical solutions for establishing an effective learning environment. Inside, you'll discover:
·The 17 fundamental tools of positive discipline
·Real-life stories of proven positive discipline strategies
·Suggestions for establishing and maintaining respectful, nurturing relationships with students
·And much more!
'Overcome obstacles and get back to why you became a teacher in the first place: to empower students with confidence, self-respect, and resourcefulness.'
—Bill Scott, principal, Birney Elementary School, Murietta, Georgia
'An inspiring, information-packed book. All teachers—from those just beginning to those with many years of experience—will find the tools of positive discipline easy to use.'
—Phillip Harris, Ed.D., director, Center for Professional Development and Services, Phi Delta Kappa International

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - It is the sum of my 30-year-teaching Life
When you read a book which summarizes your 30-year experience in details you feel proud of yourself and the material you choose.
I recommend "Positive Discipline" and "A Teacher's A-Z Guide, Revised 2nd Edition: Hundreds of Solutions for Every Possible Classroom Behavior Problem" to everybody who teaches.
I teach "Classroom Management" to prospective teachers. I do believe that these books would be the "Bible" of them all.
Rating: - a win-win discipline book
This is a win-win book on discipline. It's applicable to all grades. It asks us to look beyond the superficial quick-fix that's so pervasive with control techniques and reward systems. It gets us to start asking the deeper question: what is behind the behavior being displayed. It does not suggest we throw away setting limits, the authors instead point to a more healthy and compassionate way of dealing with discipline.
Rating:  - Ever Hear The Phrase "All Talk, No Action" ?
With four pages and a back cover filled with praises for this book, it HAD to be THE one that was going to help solve all those classroom battles - Right? Wrong. It's more likely that, between them, the four authors have conjured enough contacts in their careers to fill those pages of testimony even if they had written a Spam cookbook.
What all of the glowing reports prefacing the title page don't tell you is that this book concerns itself not with positive ACTION ... Read More
