Customer Reviews

Transform you classroom!

I found Diane Gossen's book to be an excellent resource for building classroom community and individual responsibility. The "restitution" process transformed my high school classroom. Discipline problems disappeared immediately so that we could get down to the business of learning and discovery. Gossen's practical strategies work for teachers and parents..... and are a 'must' for pre-service teachers.

The future of school discipline

This book walks the reader through the evolution of school discipline in a stimulating and practical way. Great insights!

Excellent. Logical, progressive, needed.

This book is simply too logical for today's educational community. Unlike most of the common education rhetoric it focuses on kids and their unique needs. It's a must-read for school administrators, teachers, and support personnel.

Excellent book - Clearly written - Easy to read.

This book is an excellent one to read to get a good overview as to what this type of classroom management involves. It makes sense. I can't wait to try it in my classroom.
