Synopsis

This practical guide gives tips, hints, suggestions and methods for achieving discipline in religion class. After examining why maintaining discipline is particularly difficult today, the book proposes ways to counteract this trend. It gives specific tips on what to say and do, illustrated by examples and strategies culled from the author's years of experience. The book covers key areas that influence discipline, for example, the teacher's self-concept, the environment, the lesson plan, attitudes toward the students, rules and behavioural consequences. Above all, it emphasizes involving children in the disciplinary process, as well as always treating them positively and with respect. The book is suitable for both new and experienced religion teachers, and should also be of interest to anyone who has occasion to work with children in group settings.
