This review is from: Behavior Management in the Schools: Principles and Procedures (Paperback)

If you've tried everything you can think of and your biggest behavior problems are still draining your energy(I know, I'm in the same boat, too!) then this book will save your sanity. This book is the first book on behavior management that provides you with real tools to deal with student, the parents and the district staff. Regain your professional control of events. This book explains how teachers can build a behavior plan supported by solid psychological, sociological and educational theories. This book will do more for you than any professional development workshop. Read it. Let it sink in. Then the next time your sitting at that table in the office, impress the heck out of the principal, the counselor, the behavior specialist and the parents. This book can help you do that. Great summer reading so you'll be ready when school starts this fall.
