Editorial Reviews

Kathryn Mc Cormick

"This is the best book I've read on classroom discipline. Classroom management and discipline are tough topics for teachers. Marcia Tate includes fantastic ideas in a nonthreatening manner. "

Denise Leonard

"Teachers of any grade level, Pre K through adult, can benefit from this book. It is an easy read, with useful ideas that are backed up by quality research. Teachers can read about a strategy very quickly, learn why it is important, discover the steps for implementation, and begin reflecting on how to apply the strategy to their own classroom. "
