Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
What Every Teacher Should Know About Classroom Management and Discipline
Donna Walker Tileston · 2004
76/100
👍 Worth It
Tileston grounds classroom management in brain research rather than gut instinct, and that distinction matters — it shifts the teacher's mindset from punishment to prevention. The AEP award for the series is real recognition, and the concise format makes it genuinely readable for busy educators. The brevity that makes it accessible also means complex situations like trauma or special education barely get a mention.
