The Skillful Teacher- Jon Saphier




This is a book that every teacher should have. I swear! Is is sometimes painfully dry to read, but it becomes exciting quickly as you apply the ideas and principles outlined in the very clear and concise chapters. The pyramid I have posted here is great! (it is from the Introduction)

Part I is called "Introduction to Management", how great! That's just what we want to know about. Within this section are chapters devoted to: Attention-Momentum-Space-Time-Routines and Discipline.

Within the Discipline chapter Saphier describes 6 different methods of discipline objectively for you to experiment with.
They are:
Behavior Modification
Self Awareness Training
Personal Influence
Logical Consequences
Reality Therapy
Teacher Effectiveness Training
