• Surface-level Only 19 September, 2008
For new teachers, this might be a useful book. It probably would have helped me when I started teaching (although at that point I found the Canters' Assertive Discipline, and that also worked). At this point, though, I found it shallow and lacking in the real substance I need to help me reach those last few students for whom ordinary strategies do not work.

• Not Much To It 06 December, 2008
This book looked good online as I looked at the example pages. But, when I looked at in in person, I realized there's not much to it. Each topic is only discussed briefly with very little examples. It states ideas such as a classroom meeting, but does not describe how to go about it. Also, this book is really written for middle school or high school teachers-not elementary teachers.
