Great for first year teachers

This book is great. It is a honest, no BS accounting of what we do in the classroom and how to make your life smoother when dealing with difficult students. I have recommended it to many friends who are also teachers. I can not say enough good things.

The best book on teaching....

Setting limits is by far the most useful teaching resource I have ever found. I am in my third year teaching grade 8 history, which is a tough year for kids. Setting limits in the classroom gives clear fundamental processes for dealing with student disruptions and misbehaviors, as well as many successful strategies to prevent most classroom management problems. For all perspective teachers, I would buy this book!

The best for classroom managment!

I am a teacher with 10 years of experience in both general ed and special ed classrooms. My passion is working with behaviorally challenged students. After many years of experience, I found this book and was fascinated. Here it is- all the 'tricks of the trade' for keeping the classroom under control stated in easy-to-understand language with tons of examples. I was so impressed by it that I bought copies for fellow teachers who I knew were having problems. One teacher read the whole book over the weekend and began using it the next week. What a difference! The class that previously was throwing things at each other, talking during instruction, etc. was now on-task and excited about learning! (Yes, this is a true story!)

This program is basically a simplification of everything that I had to learn over a number of years about how to work with difficult students. But, don't get me wrong this is for ALL students and does not require any point charts or complicated systems. It is simple, easy to follow, and costs the teacher nothing! Any teacher who follows this program will have no problems with behavior - guaranteed!

Holding it together

I've been teaching for 25 years, but this was my first year in third grade, with 30 kids. A number of them are constantly testing my limits, and I felt like I had lost my touch. This book was recommended to me, and I am reading it cover to cover over my spring break, looking for a renewed vision. The writing is easy to read, the ideas make sense, and I am ready to try again next week. I consider this essential reading for all "soon to be" teachers, and for those of us who need to reset and find the love for this job again.

Setting limits review

This is a useful guide to class control for all teachers. It allows a teacher to review his/her current stratgies and see how those actions may be leading to increased student misbehavior. The basic issue is about taking control and not getting into useless power struggles with kids.
