Self-help β¦ Penny’s Take
Successful Classroom Management and Discipline
Tom V. Savage Β· 2009
72/100
π Worth It
A solid, well-structured SAGE textbook that gives pre-service and practicing teachers a clear two-part framework (prevent/respond) backed by realistic case studies and scenario exercises. Reader feedback confirms it works in the classroom. The 2009 publication predates the digital classroom era, which is a real limitation, but for foundational classroom management principles the core material holds. New teachers especially will find it useful.
