This book will help you lead staff and parents to see that discipline isn't something you do to children, but an opportunity for them to learn.

The writer in this book describes, with extraordinary precision, grace and wisdom, what responsive leadership looks like in matters of discipline in schools. He does so by taking school leaders deep into the lives of children, teachers, and parents and into the kind of school they envision which values a human and caring education.

Schools are constantly embroiled in a thicket of disciplinary issues. No other function is more universally associated with school leaders than monitoring and shaping the behavior of students.

There is often widespread agreement about the goals of school discipline to make the school a safe and fair place and thus a place where students can concentrate on learning and teachers can concentrate on teaching.

However, how these goals are to be achieved is far more complex than the world envisioned in most school rules, and the systems of thinking that underlie them.

Here, finally, is a book about school discipline for school leaders, which understands the essence of the rules governing behaviour in schools as well as the conditions that generate those behaviour.

Through his extraordinary wealth of tested experience, Sayed Abuelmagd offers a remarkably illuminating book on a subject that deserves his thoughtfulness and expertise.

This book is an elegant affirmation of leadership capacity. It represents an engaging and vivid account of the day-to-day possibilities of the school leader s role in creating a climate that enables academic and social growth in students and making the school a just place for all.

A striking premise throughout the book is that the various arenas of discipline to support children s positive behaviour and productive learning is not only the leader s work, it is everyone's work.

The comprehensive repertoire of knowledge, skills, and strategies found in this book will provide school leaders a powerful energetic field in helping all adults in the school community to think and act in a morally responsible way so that children experience a just and responsive environment

This is an excellent read for educators at all grade levels and stages of their careers, and it highlights an important, yet often overlooked, tool teachers use most often in the classroom: our words and techniques.

It includes a whole chapter on effective listening, which is often left out of the teaching equation when we get wrapped up in how much curriculum we have to cover, etc.

This is a quick and worthwhile read for all educators, especially those in the classroom. Highly recommend it.

There is plenty in here for beginning teachers, but there is also plenty for veterans. We are never too old to learn! The whole idea that the foundation of discipline begets learning is essential, for all of us. Without rules to live by who can think clearly?!!

Classrooms need boundaries, boundaries of discipline and rules, so that students feel safe. When we feel safe we are willing to listen and thus able to learn.

Good ideas you can use right away. There are Wonderful ideas on how to start a new year.

This book is a major breakthrough in the field of education... It provides a theoretical framework for elementary teaching and specific guidelines and techniques to put that theory into practice... It has profound implications for all teachers and systems, but especially for urban education.

It shows how to organize classrooms, develop appropriate curricula, and most importantly, develop social competence... This book is what educators across the country are looking for.

This book focuses on creating an environment of caring for one another in the educational setting. It focuses on respect and responsibility for people.

Students are encouraged to problem solve and respect group decisions. This philosophy requires commitment on the part of the teacher to constantly teach respect and responsibility for self and others along with the curriculum.

The philosophy is positive one and one children readily respond to since it honours and challenges them to think about how their behaviour affects others and themselves.

It provides a rich and meaningful description of the process of building a classroom community through routines and techniques that strengthen children both academically and socially.

The steps the book describes can be applied to any grade and are grounded in a belief in children's intrinsic good nature. It is a valuable resource for educators and parents.

Parents and teachers all should have this book in their library! You will find this book especially beneficial for the topic on power struggles. The author is sincere in his efforts to educate people dealing with children that discipline is necessary for personal growth.

The book helps teachers envision how they can communicate with students in ways which promote personal and intellectual engagement. It offers supportive suggestions to help teachers figure out how they might change their own style of techniques.

Finally, the book inspires the hope that as we hone the clarity of our messages in classroom speech, we will be more efficacious in helping students become autonomous, reflective, and motivated learners. That is a major key to closing the achievement gap.
