    • Abstract:
      This book, using a teacher's perspective, explores the issues behind children's classroom behavior. Adults are seen as the central cause of children's discipline problems, and the need for adults, including the teacher, to take responsibility for themselves and their children's behavior is a key theme here. Outlined are some of the beliefs and behaviors that a teacher must possess for success with discipline, especially with students considered at risk. Insights into how young people think and what motivates them to behave are offered. Old concepts of discipline and its purposes are reexamined and characteristics of a disciplined person are outlined. Effective discipline methods are given along with appropriate citations so that teachers can examine the evidence themselves. The book's topics are organized into nine chapters: (1) Introduction; (2) What's Wrong with These Kids Today?; (3) Teacher Attitudes and Characteristics; (4) Principles of Motivation; (5) Definition of Discipline; (6) Proactive Management Strategies; (7) Reactive Management Strategies; (8) Schoolwide Factors in Effective Student Management; and (9) A Final Word. Contains a 93-item list of references and a 22-item list of resources. (RJM)
