Because discipline problems are so prevalent and difficult to solve, many educators and specialists in related fields have attempted to provide help for teachers. Their suggestions come from a variety of perspectives and are based on different assumptions about the purposes of schooling and the capabilities of students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTeachers often fail to scrutinise the assumptions on which these discipline approaches are based or to measure them against their own values and educational philosophy. \u003cem\u003eClassroom Discipline and Management\u003c\/em\u003e is designed to help teachers explore various approaches to classroom discipline along with their own personal philosophy. The text emphasizes informed decision-making. The teacher must have an understanding of the assumptions behind a disciplinary approach, as well as the theory and practical applications of that approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew to This Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNew!\u003c\/strong\u003e Coverage of Linda Albert's Cooperative Discipline model.
