Preventing Discipline Problems, K-12: Cued to Classroom Management Training Handbook covers every aspect of classroom management and illustrates how to tap into the teacher’s most influential tool in the classroom: the person inside the teacher. Schools across the United States, as well as 15 other countries, use this text and accompanying training handbook to help train teachers to negotiate classroom problems.
This book helps real teachers deal more effectively with administration, parents, substitute or cluster teaching, bullying, creating a safe classroom environment, and with students who demonstrate a variety of behavioral problems. The author, Howard Seeman, demonstrates how to handle and prevent these various situations. Included in each chapter are self-training, hands-on practice exercises and helpful guidelines and checklists to assist the beginning or veteran teacher.
Online course and a live-action training DVD are available. Please contact Howard Seeman at hokaja@aol.com.
