Discipline Survival Kit for the Secondary Teacher

This book contains some of the best techniques I have ever used for discipline in the classroom-and I have seen alot of techniques. This guide represents the most comprehensive set of tools that are ready to use and emphasize the importance of professionalism in the classroom. By reminding the educator that respect begins with modeling good behavior, this book can help even the most jaded of educational professionals. I have found this book to be an invaluable tool in the classroom

This is a thorough, entertaining, and very useful book for new and veteran teachers. There are many lists and reproducible forms. I am a department chair at my school and will use this book on which to base my back-to-school department meeting this year.

Not the average classroom management textbook! This book is positive, easy to read and crammed with practical ideas you can use today. It is well worth buying. The book contains many reproducible froms to guide you through self assessing your classroom and managing your students. Pages and pages of great ideas such as:50 Techniques for Increasing Intrinsic Motivation, 50 Ways To Handle The Difficult Class, 50 Actions That Will Grab Your Students Attention, 22 Icebreakers, 33 Ways To Develop the Teacher-Student Link and MANY more. I will be referring back to this book again and again.

Fantastic book! Easy to read and understand. Very good handouts and guides to help you figure out how good your classroom management skills really are.

This book is the most complete and practical guide to every conceivable area of the secondary classroom. It begins with what to do before school starts and proceeds with hamdouts, helpful hints, and numerous reproducible sheets covering parent conferences,classroom control, 50 "sponge" activities to use, classroom management and what to do the first ten minutes of class as well as the final few minutes of class. Tips abound on time management, first day of class, seating charts, group work, coopoerative learning, getting help in any circumstance. I have been in charge of staff development the last few years, and we will be ordering this book for at least fifty of our teachers. The experienced teachers like it just as well as our novice ones. It is fantastic!
