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

This book is AMAZING!! I purchased this book for a online course. It is easy to read and has real inspiring stories from teachers. This book is a must have for all teachers and paraprofessionals. It covers many discipline issues from K-12. It explains the importance of teaching children problem solving skills. It also teaches you how to connect with your students and build a positive classroom community.

Explains different personality types and divides mis-behavior into four understandable catergories. Gives real classroom examples (makes it easy to picture each "type" of kid) and you can even put kids you've taught into each category. Book discusses importance of following procedures and having class meetings. Explains HOW to do this as well. Gives examples of how a teacher reacts to situations and consequences for which direction teacher chooses. Book lists any discipline issue you can dream of and explains what each is, gives suggestions for how to handle it, has planning ahead to prevent future problems, and then gives inspirational stories. A terrific resource for every teacher!

Bit difficult of a read, especially at the beginning. But her methods make sense. Difficult to do with my five young children (ages 5-11) At least difficult to remember to do when you are in the midst of whining and misbehavior. But every now and then when I would remember I would see how much better my kids would respond to positive discipline. Also I noticed my 11 year old daughter learning to recognize when someone was being disrespectful to her and responding in a healthy manner. It really underscored to me how much my children learn from my own behavior. I'll keep trying to incorporate her methods even though it seems really difficult to break habits I was brought up with and have used for 11 years.

Perhaps it is because I have been teaching for 27 years, but this book has nothing new to say and is not worth the price. Perhaps a new teacher would benefit from this book.
