Outstanding and practical!

I really needed this book. As an occasional substitute teacher, I've discovered that it's very difficult to have create order in some classrooms and it's a breeze in others. It depends on the behavior management systems that the classroom teacher already has in place. The ones that are lacking in order require Super-Woman skills to bring any sense of peace and calm into the classroom. And it's so easy to fall in punishment types of discipline strategies. I prefer to be a positive teacher, but my old method was writing names on the board and giving the class baseball diamond with strike-outs. I love how this book is 100% focused on positive discipline techniques. I know I feel better inside when I implement these types of strategies rather than handing out punishments. I wish I could find a nice way to give this book my daughter's teacher because she seems pretty frazzled right now and this book was such a help for that.
