The second edition of this highly successful text has further sharpened its original focus: to help the reader develop an eclectic, personalized system of classroom discipline that is keyed to the realities of his or her own personality and teaching situation. An introductory chapter that provides a general discussion of discipline per se is followed by a succinct presentation of seven of the most widely used models of discipline now being practiced in our schools. The book then moves to a highly practical discussion of educational and psychological research that relates to any system of discipline. The final section of the book provides the reader with (1) a practical set of guidelines for converting the information of the preceding chapters into a personalized system of discipline, and (2) information on how to build an effective schoolwide system of discipline.
