Teaching with Discipline: a Teacher's Guide Florence C. Wilson Tch edition

Teaching with Discipline is a 'must-read' book for teachers. It introduces elementary teachers to positive disciplinary procedures and teaching practices that will help them maintain a classroom of responsible and well-behaved students. Teaching with Discipline helps teachers establish uniform standards of behavior for students to follow so they can effectively teach students the principles of living in a democratic society and to teach the basic academic skills and content material students need to know. Appropriate disciplinary procedures are written into simple yet effective plans of action that enable teachers to hold their students accountable for good study habits in the classroom, for getting along with other students on the playground, and for following established standards of behavior during all school activities. Procedures for setting up the discipline plan and its implementation are included along with suggested ways of organizing the classroom, conducting lessons and adjusting instruction for a range of achievement levels within most classrooms. The section with helpful ideas for communicating with parents and a list of some do's and don'ts about discipline will be found to be very helpful in keeping discipline problems to a minimum. Teaching with Discipline offers simple solutions to the difficult problems of teaching children to practice self-discipline and to guide them into becoming self-directed learners.
