Summary: 5 Stars
My first year of teaching middle school was painful. I had come through a college teacher ed program and done student teaching. I had learned all the different discipline techniques (give rewards, take away priviledges, etc). These weren't very applicable to middle school where we don't have the same kids all day (I see about 140 a day). I desperately needed something that would work quickly, wouldn't require a lot of charts,stickers, and paperwork, and wouldn't cost me money (like they pay me enough to buy rewards...).
This book is brilliant! It gave me specific responses and phrases to use. We complain about students not thinking before they act, not being aware of their behavior, and not doing what we tell them. This book gives you ways to get them to think, to reflect on what they are doing or are about to do and how to do it quickly so that you can go back to teaching. I wish more teachers and administrators in my school used these methods. I wish my college had recommended this book so I would have had a specific plan when I started. A dicipline plan is not a couple of rules and consequences; it is a classroom management tool that lets the teacher know how to respond in situations before they become problems.
I've read the book twice, highlighted stuff once, taken notes, am rereading it now for my 3rd year of teaching, and have loaned it and recommended it countless times. The brisk writing style with example conversations and bold face items to remember is very helpful. It is long so having a list of phrases from out of the book is helpful to keep on hand. I also recommend their website that has articles on specific topics such as homework, basic guidelines, teasing, etc.
As a side note: The original parenting book does talk about spanking but the website has an updated response that says they have changed their position. Obviously we teachers don't have the option of physical intervention so we must be more creative in our interactions with students.
