Must Have for Middle School Teachers!

I love this book! I began teaching this year with no support from my administration and no discipline at my school. I purchased this in April and even in the month I have been using the ideas in it, this book has kept me from pulling out my hair! I can't wait to start over next year and use more ideas! I LOVE the nuts and bolts idea in this book! I have Watson's other book as well which is catered to younger classrooms than mine. Its hard to find classroom management techniques that work in a middle school classroom!

Wow!

I wish I had this book 4 years ago when I started teaching. Most of my discipline practices have been by trial and error. The section on who to take with you on a field trip....excellent! I made a huge mistake last spring and because of it, I have now sworn off field trips. If I had this book, I really think I would have avoided the mistakes that were made. This book is geared for the high school classroom, but can also be used in the middle school. A must for every teacher!

Super Book With Super Ideas

I really enjoyed this book. It has many wonderful ideas and techniques for teachers of all grade levels. They are well organized with precise titles in the Table of Contents at the front of the book. The techniques are well laid-out in the book and are reader-friendly. I read about techniques that I can surely use in my classroom tomorrow. I would highly recommend this book to any teacher at any grade level. There truly is "something for everyone" in this book

Classroom Discipline Problem Solver gets an A+ from me

This is one of the best books of its kind for beginning, new, or experienced teachers. All the bases are covered with excellent examples. The book itself is well written, and really is the one book I keep at my desk for ready reference. It has all the information in one place, and the illustrations are excellent. I only wish I had this information and practical ideas when I was learning to be a teacher. This book is a "keeper," believe me. Classroom management can be the Achilles Heel of beginning teachers. This book more than evens the odds, it tilts the table in your favor. It gets my highest recommendation.

Excellent resource for any teacher!

I am very impressed with this book. It truly is a ready-reference to keep in your desk. It has lots and lots of great ideas that are very original and effective. It's easy to find whatever you're looking for and he really hits upon ALL kinds of situations teachers find themselves in. The main thing I found is this book is unlike any other I've seen. It takes any situation and gives you several possible solutions. What I liked most is that the suggestions work, they take minimal time, you don't always have to send the kid to the office, and best of all, the suggestions actually teach the student something, usually accountability and resposibility. I highly recommend this book to all teachers.
