Positive Discipline in the Classroom

Hundreds of schools also use these amazingly effective strategies for restoring order and civility to today's turbulent classrooms. Now you too can use this philosophy as a foundation for fostering cooperation, problem-solving skills, and mutual respect in children. Imagine, instead of controlling behavior, you can be teaching; instead of confronting apathy, you will enjoy motivated, eager students! Inside, you'll discover how to:

  • Create a classroom climate that enhances academic learning.
  • Use encouragement rather than praise and rewards.
  • Instill valuable social skills and positive behavior through the use of class meetings.
  • Understand the motivation behind students' behavior instead of looking for causes.
  • And much more!
