Customer Reviews

This book saved my teaching career, I've read it 4 times!

I had been teaching 7th and 8th grade science for two years at an inner city school and was doing fine. I had my classes under control, but I was getting worn out keeping them under control. I read the intro to this book and couldn't wait to finish it and implement his methods. I read it over again during the two weeks before school for the next 4 summers to refresh myself. He clearly explains methods to maintain perfect control and cooperation with less work and keep your own stress level way down. I go home much more relaxed now. The kids love it too. He originaly developed these methods at schools for the severely emotionally disabled, so I'm sure they will work anywhere.

Awesome and teacher friendly!

I have been using this program for 6 years with my emotionally handicapped class. Teaching is easy and fun due to Jones' simplistic and cost effective ways to self-eliminate behavior. I went from an average of 15 office referrals a week down to less than 5 all year! Best of all the kids are happy and test scores are on the rise! This is the first easy program that applies in any classroom and on the parental home front too!

Every bit as good as his book Positive Classroom Discipline

Fredric Jones has done it again. He shows educators outstanding instructional techniques in a clear and detailed fashion. Difficult math concepts that I couldn't get children to master in months, I now can do in weeks. His ideas for helping children are a must read for any educator. This is the best book I've seen on improving instruction in the classroom.

Improving classroom discipline and lowering your stress

This book does not try to solve classroom discipline in the classroom through platitudes. It presents a clear set of behaviors to teachers that will simultaneously lower the their stress and improve the climate in their room. Best of all, these behaviors cost nothing in time and money and they work.

Every teacher must read!

This book is more than a bag of tricks, it does away for the need for a bag of tricks with a comprehensive, dynamic system for caring classroom discipline. This system works to extinguish unwanted behaviors every teacher faces, instead of dealing with the same thing over and over again. Information includes: How to set up your classroom to maximize teacher/student interaction, the first day of school, limit setting for dealing with disruptions and back talk, responsibility training, and putting the lid on. If you've heard of different aspects of Fred Jones' ideas, such at PAT, you need this book to implement them correctly. Simply a must read.
