An updated version of one of the best books on discipline around. More and better ways to prevent discipline problems, build student accountability and end frustrating power struggles with kids of all ages. Here are anecdotes, examples, guidelines, charts and practical, powerful and effective ideas to help you:

Avoid falling into the “rules and punishment” trap
Follow through on boundaries and limits
Motivate cooperation without threats or powering
Build an emotionally safe climate necessary for learning and retention
Encourage student cooperation, self-management and on-task behavior
Create a "win-win," success-oriented classroom environment
Discourage student aggressiveness, passivity and disruptive behavior
Help students solve problems independently and constructively
Intervene negative behavior without creating additional problems

As a Alternative School Principal I find this work invaluable for inservicing our staff. I have High Schoolers, Middle Schoolers and Elementary students in a separate location. Discipline has changed as have the students and this conceptually fits the students. Excellent work for secondary school discipline. Being a Wm. Glasser, M. D. desciple it fits well with what I feel needs to be done with kids today.

—Harry A. McBain (Amazon review)
