Building Classroom Discipline (11th Edition)

On the New Edition of Building Classroom Discipline I feel the book is the best overview of Classroom Management for an entry-level teacher. It has a strong theoretical basis and provides students with a sound overview of classroom management. . . . Each chapter is easy to follow and . . . the case examples and the application examples strengthen each chapter. . . . A true gem of a book! --Aubrey Fine CA Poly University Two things I like about the new edition that the previous edition did not have are the chapter on self-assessment as well as the inclusion of the Be the Teacher Scenarios in all the chapters. My students have enjoyed the Be the Teacher practice exercises a lot and I am glad that with the new edition they will have even more opportunities to practice. --Madalina Tanase University of North Florida Not only does Charles provide the essence of each model but he focuses on how to execute the model in a classroom. The step-by-step approach is exceptional. --Deborah Burris Southern Illinios University Carbondale Appropriate for courses in Classroom Management and Classroom Discipline.
