Synopsis:

A teacher′s success throughout the school year is largely determined by the events of the first few weeks of school. In his highly successful book Discipline in the Secondary Classroom (more than 100,000 copies sold), classroom management guru Randall Sprick offers practical strategies for beginning the school year, organizing the classroom for success, and establishing rules and behavior expectations for students. He also provides scores of helpful tips gathered from successful classroom teachers or gleaned from the latest educational research. Discipline in the Secondary Classroom is a treasure–trove of practical advice, tips, checklists, reproducibles, posters, and ready–to–use activities that will save teachers time and help them become more effective educators. Both new and seasoned teachers will find this book invaluable for designing a management plan that prevents problems, motivates students, and teaches them to behave responsibly. Discipline in the Secondary Classroom includes nine chapters that cover everything from creating a vision for classroom behavior to modifying a student behavior plan as the school year progresses. Also included is a DVD featuring Dr. Sprick teaching two core topics from within the book: How to finalize your classroom management plan and communicate it to students How to reinforce positive behavior in students rather than react to negative behavior
