When it comes to teachers and children, there are no quick fixes. In this fast paced world of fast food, fast communication, with everything moving at warp speed, children are refusing to cooperate with the hectic life that is spinning all around them. In steps Positive Discipline in the Classroom, a way to communicate, work or live with the children in our lives. In several of the reviews presented here of this book, it has been dismissed as too time consuming and/or too soft in the area of feelings. In at least two of the negative reviews, the reviewers admit to not even finishing the book. As the saying goes, "Don't knock it until you've tried it." When the book is read, pondered, and most importantly, practiced, readers will find, both teachers and interested parents, that Positive Discipline in the Classroom provides ways to help children take charge of their own emotions, actions, and intellectual pursuits. Teachers often spend instructional time dealing with students' social and emotional problems and disruptive behaviors, becoming the one who controls the group. In PD in the Classroom, students take charge of themselves as they learn the skills necessary to do so. Therefore, in the short run, yes, time is spent away from the content areas, but in the long run, the time is recouped in fewer disruptions from unruly and undisciplined students. If you are a teacher and have an interest in helping young people from kindergartners to Seniors become self-directed and responsible citizens, you will buy this book, read it, and practice it.
Discipline that Works and Teaches August 21, 2005

As a parent, child and family therapist and school counselor I have seen Positive Discipline concepts change the lives of parents and children alike. We are all searching for a way to raise our children that allows them to develop the long-term life skills of confidence, responsibility, contribution and the ability to solve problems. The schools that teach these skills in addition to academics have students that perform better in school and in life. Using Positive Discipline will actually save you time in the classroom, and make your job and relationships with your students much more enjoyable.

I have been an educator of elementary aged children for 25 years and I, like many of you, have seen strategies and philosophies come and go. Several years ago I happened upon a Positive Discipline book and I immediately recognized the philosophy and strategies as a collection of those things that worked best for me and my colleagues over our many collective years of teaching. The PD in the Classroom volume expounds upon the original book and offers precise, insightful strategies for classroom teachers. I have sung the praises of PD for years in my school and district. I have seen it used effectively with 3 year olds as well as 12 year olds. It has enhanced my own personal and professional relationships as well. If I may be so bold, I suggest that any interested reader start with the original Positve Discipline book. I remember reading(no, devouring) that original volume one Friday afternoon and recognizing that I had found a home for my own thoughts regarding discipline and relationships. My professional library includes every single PD book written, and I heartily recommend each one.
for teachers tired of teachniques and methods August 20, 2005

This book literally changed the way I was teaching.
In the early 80's I was a new hire at a community college where I was to teach "Guidance and Discipline" to student child care providers and preschool teachers. That's when I discovered what I call the "GOLD" book - the original positive discipline book (I called it that because it WAS a gold color - but also because it was worth it's weight in gold and became a real treasure!)
All of the positive discipline books teach tools - not techniques or methods - when people learn principles and tools they CAN succeed - without trying to be the author of the book! The positive discipline books teach you how to become the best person YOU can be - the best teacher YOU can be - and your individuality will enrich the teaching style you grow into.
As I learned more about positive discipline and began to live it as fully as I could, I read the other books in the series. The classroom book was what I used to model my own budding teaching style with the "grown up" students. A funny memory just popped into my mind - a student once asked me, "Who ever taught you to teach this way? I NEVER had a teacher who cared about my opinion or input - or who ever cared about me, for that matter - it was always the subject they taught - not the people!" Well, I answered, "Jane Nelsen - that's who - remember she's the author of the books we're using!" This was a community college student - an adult - who hadn't had teachers who could balance the need for academics with the need for mutual respect and cooperation while learning!
It truly saddens me to read the negative reviews posted here that purport that teachers still believe in separation of "home and school"- and still think the most important teaching is factual and subject-based.
Haven't they read the research that shows that when schools teach subject matter AND social and life skills that students' academic success improves? And that they then begin to love learning!" So, it isn't a question anymore which to teach - while you teach the academics, who ARE teaching about human relationships - and you do so either positively or negatively.
Say - are you game for a novel idea? Why not teach the parents and community the principles of positive discipline that your students learn at school? Why not put in place a parent education program that reaches out into the community to bring school-home partnerships full circle? It's an approach to growing the `future community' that will solidify future success in both actualized adults and informed academics!
So, wake up - if you are looking for a book that will teach you how to show you care, as well as revitalize your teaching style day by day, care enough to purchase this book - there will always be a nay-sayer who say that positive learning environments isn't what the world needs, but there is hope when we can put hope back into one classroom at a time.
It's high time that Positive Discipline in the Classroom is a best seller in someone else's life besides my own!
