Book Overview
DISCIPLINE WITHOUT TEARS: How To Reduce Conflict and Establish Cooperation in the Classroom Discipline without Tears is a modern classic within the teaching profession. The original edition was written by Pearl Cassel and Rudolf Dreikurs. First published in 1971 by arrangement with the Alfred Adler Institute, it has been a teacher's best friend and became an international bestseller with translations into French, Italian, Greek, German, Dutch, Japanese and Chinese. The focus of the book is to show the elementary school teacher how to manage a classroom of children effectively by understanding the nature of their behavior. The book is prescriptive, and challenges teachers to analyze their teaching style and become more effective at discipline in the classroom. With the co-authorship of Dr. Eva Dreikurs Ferguson, the book has been updated and revised to reflect current trends in education. Schools have put more emphasis on teachers knowing how to resolve issues of discipline within their classroom, and teachers will appreciate the clear and concise presentation of material that will lead to more effective learning time and a more pleasant teaching environment. Parents will also find this book most helpful for the family dynamic.

Discipline without Tears
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I had read Dreikurs before and thought what he said was worthwhile. Now I'm planning to write on discipline and found this book very encouraging. Although it says almost everything, I'm wondering why I would try to write on the same topic. Unfortunately, Dreikurs' philosophy isn't being followed in today's American education systems. They have opted for an ABA style that is essentially punitive and depends on rewards and consequences. I don't think that will ever work but I know it would take a considerable amount of teacher education to change it much. As a former faculty member in Teacher Preparation, I know what will work and this is definitely it! The book is well written and the chapters are short and succinct. Philosophy is embedded in each chapter which makes the content easy to follow.
A concise how-to care for child discipline with workbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The authors quickly tell the reader the logic and history of their child discipline recommen- dations. They show ways to recognize and type problems - then how to care for them in a respectful and democratic way. The included workbook with answers resolves any questions. A book to read and keep for future reference. Added value; with a little insight the principals cited can be used by any group leader/supervisor. The recommendations really work!
