The Three Faces of Discipline for the Elementary School Teacher: Empowering the Teacher and Students

Three Faces of Discipline for Early Childhood, The: Empowering Teachers and Students

Presenting the widest variety of techniques for helping with difficult children and the host of discipline incidents that can arise in the K-12 classroom, this book will be invaluable to teachers. It is different from other classroom management books in that it focuses on the various models and techniques to apply to those models.

Solving Discipline Problems: Methods and Models for Today's Teachers

Using methods and techniques drawn from these models, the authors create a new model, "The Three Faces of Discipline," that arranges the best methods on a power continuum called the Teacher Behavior Continuum, or TBC. It's a power continuum of general behaviors that range from child centered to teacher controlling actions and it helps teachers analyze their own philosophy of discipline and understand how to create and maintain an orderly, predictable, and caring climate for young adolescents. The TBC shows clearly the degree of power necessary to orchestrate effective discipline practices in a middle level school. With its lively vignettes and clear writing style, the book is the ideal guide for all educators interested in creating a developmentally appropriate environment that maximizes learning for young adolescents.  In this guide you find the most comprehensive collection of practical methods and techniques from today's most widely-used discipline models - TET, Glasser, Dreikurs, Assertive Discipline, Behavior Analysis, and more. Also included is an inventory teachers can take to help determine which discipline models best fit their own value systems.  For any teacher or educator.
