I read this book after two years of long term subbing and prior to my first official year of teaching and it completely changed my perspective on discipline, for the better. I feel like my classroom and management maintain a positive perspective thanks to the procedures and tips from the Kagans, and I refer back to it often.

Excellent classroom management resources that'll blow your paradigms out of the water.

I didn't really read the entire book. It's more of a reference material after the first six-or-so chapters. I have found some of the Smartcards to be as beneficial as the chapters in the actual book. :( Still, there are some good ideas in here for almost any kind of behavior.
