The third edition includes new sections in each chapter for grades K-6, parents, strategies for school violence prevention, a computer resource guide, conflict-resolution training, systematic rewards for all grades, and methods for handling peer pressure and bullies.

Review This is a book/video all about classroom management, probably the most discussed topic of teachers in staffrooms around the globe. Seeman has put together a handbook on classroom management that has a wealth of ideas....The book promotes prevention as the best alternative in most classroom management situations and it is written in such a manner that it can easily be picked up and used as either a training manual or an ongoing guide. Highly recommended. An excellent book. There is also a video which accompanies the book in which the author uses visual examples of the ideas contained within the text. The video is also set up in such a way as to be used as a training tool, with each example linked to a specific section of the book.--Teacher Education Quarterly 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.
