Booklists: Classroom Management

Classroom management is traditionally a matter of encouraging good behavior and discouraging bad by doling out rewards and punishments. But studies show that when educators empower students to address and correct misbehavior among themselves, positive results are longer lasting and more wide reaching. In Better Than Carrots or Sticks longtime educators and best-selling authors Dominique Smith, Douglas Fisher, and Nancy Frey provide a practical blueprint for creating a cooperative and respectful classroom climate in which students and teachers work through behavioral issues together.

The newest offering in the highly successful Positive Discipline series, this is a teacher's compendium of the most important tools to foster hands-on learning and cooperation within the classroom, complete with the most up-to-date research on the Positive Discipline method.
