Real-life case studies throughout the text provide concrete illustrations of actual classroom issues and problems, as well as examples of the types of decisions teachers may make to enhance student self-control.

—Barrie A. Brancato, Clarian University
“I have used this text since I began teaching classroom management six years ago. I have reviewed many others but still find this one to best meet the needs of the students.
—Joan Schwartz, Armstrong Atlantic State University
