Just what I have been looking for! This book is just what I was looking for. It first helps you determine the type of disciplinarian you are in your classroom now. It described me to a "t". In very simple terms it described and diagrammed what I was doing wrong. It just makes so much sense. Then it goes on to show how to deal with a multitude of class and out-of-class discipline situations. It gives real situations and how the teacher dealt with them. Just what I needed. I will definitely be using this book as a guide for my classroom discipline this year. | ||
Fellow teachers: Buy this book! Finally, a classroom management book that I can really use! "Setting Limits" isn't filled with jargon,statistics, or theories; it implements real examples of classroom, playground and counseling scenarios and how they should (or shouldn't) be managed. Even better, there are examples from every grade level, K-12, so I didn't find myself searching for the chapters relevant to my teaching position. This book helped me identify ways to streamline my middle school classroom-no more getting sidetracked by difficult students or unexpected situations. I can't wait to go back to school in August and use my sharpened skills. | ||
FANTASTIC BOOK! This is the best book on classroom discipline I have EVER read. It is to the point, with concrete ways of handling a variety of situations. It is also full of examples, most of which I have been through. In other words, these aren`t examples of situations that never or rarely happen. These are every day situations like what to do with a smart mouth student, or one that doesn`t want to listen to you, or the class clown. I will recommend this book to all my friends at work. You will not be dissapointed. Well worth the money. | ||
The best for classroom managment! I am a teacher with 10 years of experience in both general ed and special ed classrooms. My passion is working with behaviorally challenged students. After many years of experience, I found this book and was fascinated. Here it is- all the 'tricks of the trade' for keeping the classroom under control stated in easy-to-understand language with tons of examples. I was so impressed by it that I bought copies for fellow teachers who I knew were having problems. One teacher read the whole book over the weekend and began using it the next week. What a difference! The class that previously was throwing things at each other, talking during instruction, etc. was now on-task and excited about learning! (Yes, this is a true story!) This program is basically a simplification of everything that I had to learn over a number of years about how to work with difficult students. But, don't get me wrong this is for ALL students and does not require any point charts or complicated systems. It is simple, easy to follow, and costs the teacher nothing! Any teacher who follows this program will have no problems with behavior - guaranteed! | ||
Holding it together I've been teaching for 25 years, but this was my first year in third grade, with 30 kids. A number of them are constantly testing my limits, and I felt like I had lost my touch. This book was recommended to me, and I am reading it cover to cover over my spring break, looking for a renewed vision. The writing is easy to read, the ideas make sense, and I am ready to try again next week. I consider this essential reading for all "soon to be" teachers, and for those of us who need to reset and find the love for this job again. | ||
