"If Prof. Seeman's course is as practical as his book, it is a course from which every teacher can benefit—especially teachers for whom classroom management is an issue. In the course, you not only have his book, you have him! If I had had the opportunity to take this course during my first years of teaching to help me with classroom management, who knows, I might still be in the classroom!"

If the author left something out, it's hard to imagine what it might be!"

"Highly recommended. An excellent book/video...a wealth of ideas to consider and try, with an excellent list of: Rewards for the Classroom. There are other valuable sections on preventing calling out, curtailing cheating, handling homework, and over 90 methods to enhance class participation. This excellent classroom management handbook/video also has a chapter on "When Should You Call It: A Discipline Problem?" and "miscalls" a fresh and thought-inspiring concept. The author does not pull punches with many of his comments and deals with problems in a way that is both practical and honest... This training set can easily be picked up and used as either a training manual or ongoing guide."

"I have used your book for several years re: class management. I especially appreciate sections like: discriminating a behavior problem from another type of problem. [Your book] has been very useful to me and to the teachers with whom I work. Thanks for your contribution to the profession. It has been important to me and the work I do."

"I have been involved in the field of Education for the past twenty five years, working as a teacher, dean of students in High School administration, central office administration, and currently as the Deputy Associate Superintendent for the Dept. of Education , Discipline Initiative in Arizona. Dr. Seeman's course on Preventing Classroom Discipline Problems has certainly validated twelve years of bicoastal classroom experience for me, from Philadelphia to Phoenix.

I have found Dr. Seeman's course to be "right on point" in the identification of the problems encountered during the discipline of students. His text has been extremely helpful in providing techniques and skills necessary when dealing with disruptive students. The particular identification of behavior "Miscalls" and classroom disruptions versus "discipline problems" shared in Dr. Seeman's text represents the proliferation in the evolution of discipline in today's schools!

This course has been extremely useful with helping educators understand just how "huge" the role that adult behavior plays in the outcomes of STUDENT discipline.

This has been an extremely worthwhile course, augmented by an excellent video and authentic sharing by fellow students.

I highly recommend that any adult, who is in the profession of educating children, enroll in this class today!"

Dr. Ann Hart, Deputy Associate Superintendent Statewide Discipline Initiative, Arizona Department of Education
