This review is from: Lee Canter's Teaching Responsible Behavior Curriculum Guide (Spiral-bound)

A detailed curriculum guide for teaching appropriate, responsible behavior has been needed for so long but has not been available--until now. As Harry Wong said, "The number one problem in education is not discipline. It is the lack of procedures and routines resulting in students not knowing what to do-responsibly-in the classroom." Canter's book addresses this need in a systematic and detailed way. In the many books on classroom management that I've read, I've never encountered a more teacher-friendly book that explains exactly what adequately teaching expectations looks like. I wish I had had this book as a brand-new teacher, but, as a five-year "veteran," I'm glad to have it now. I can hardly wait to see my classroom management transformed by Canter's guidelines.
