Reluctant Disciplinarian: Advice on Classroom Management From a Softy Who Became (Eventually) a Successful Teacher

Gary Rubinstein

Routledge

In this funny and insightful book, Gary Rubinstein relives his own truly disastrous first year of teaching. He begins his teaching career armed only with idealism and romantic visions of teaching—and absolutely no classroom management skills. By his fourth year, however, he is named his school's “Teacher of the Year.”As Rubinstein details his transformation from incompetent to successful teacher, he shows what works and what doesn't work when managing a classroom. Just a few of his ideas: Develop a teacher look. The teacher look says, “There 's nothing you can do that I haven't already seen, so don't even bother trying.”Show students that you are a “real” teacher by doing things they expect of real teachers, at least for a while.Be prepared to utter a decisive answer to anything within two seconds. Decisive answers inspire confidence.  Any teacher—experienced or not—will enjoy this honest and humorous look at the real world of teaching and will come away with some very helpful ideas for classroom management.The book is used all over the country in teacher preparation programs. Ben Guest, Program Manager for the Mississippi Teacher Corps describes the book as “That rare classroom management book that is both thoughtful and realistic. It is also a great read, with parts that are laugh-out-loud funny.”
