"Seeman�s book [with a training video] offers the kind of common-sense approach to classroom discipline that beleaguered teachers are looking for. Even better, the just-in-time techniques are geared toward preventing discipline problems rather than reacting to them. The information is so well organized and so complete that it's easy to find exactly what you're looking for�. tackles the nitty-gritty of classroom discipline, a thorough discussion of common discipline issues and demonstrates a deep understanding� Chock full of detailed examples of the kinds of problems in every day in real classrooms, � provides explicit techniques and strategies for dealing with those problems, [and] a training video cued to the book too! 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."

"A comprehensive treatment of classroom discipline. This book is not about controlling children, but rather about humanistic education with ample regard for practical solutions to disruptive behavior."

   Journal of Staff Development

"All the suggestions in this book are skillfully presented and can easily be executed... I thoroughly recommend this book to every teacher. In reading and practicing what Seeman is telling us to do, we will reduce the number of discipline problems in schools."

Also, An Online Course: "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!"
