Ever since the first schools opened their doors, teachers have struggled to find ways to successfully deal with misbehaving students. Many have found nothing but stress and frustration in their attempts to bring order to their classrooms. Unfortunately, this problem is not going away. As times and students change, teachers are finding that old methods of classroom management are no longer working.The time has come for teachers to learn a different style of classroom management. They can no longer rely on old strategies of anger and intimidation. Discipline Without Anger shows teachers how to successfully manage their classes so that they can be free to teach without having to become bullies to keep order.There are many potentially great teachers today who are teaching poorly (or not teaching at all) because of weaknesses or fears in the area of classroom management. As a result, our schools and students are paying a price. It is time that teachers learn how to successfully handle student misbehavior and finally reach their full potential.

Discipline Without Anger allowed me to become a much better teacher! I no longer had to spend my time or energy on classroom management issues. All behavior issues are addressed with Discipline Without Anger (even the small ones) and I went home in the afternoons a much happier and less stressed teacher.

This reviewer was skeptical of the promise of this book, a new style of classroom management. The first four chapters are informative; however, beginning with chapter 5, this book is invaluable as a resource and as a new approach to classroom management. Its value is in the manner in which it streamlines and simplifies classroom management in a respectful and fair manner. Chapter 1 does a brilliant job of demonstrating by example why this book is neededteacher frustration regarding so much time spent on discipline and not enough time left for quality teaching. Campbell provides a plan that is appropriate and essential for the classroom, is easily adaptable to a variety of classroom teaching styles, and would translate well for use in the home. Summing Up: Highly recommended. * Choice Reviews *
