Setting Limits in the Classroom: How to Move Beyond the Classroom Dance of Discipline

By Robert J. MacKenzie, Ed. D.

From the founder of the Setting Limits Program, you can expect a realistic and user-friendly examination of classroom management problems and solutions. In MacKenzie's description of permissive, punitive, and democratic approaches to discipline, I cringed as I saw my own predominant style and its glaring flaws. But, MacKenzie did not leave me in despair at my own deficiencies; he quickly laid out a fair and focused plan that I could start implementing in my classroom tomorrow. What more can you ask for from a book about classroom management? The author deftly weaves together discipline philosophy and practical how-to information in a truly teacher-pleasing fashion. If you're just trying to keep your head above water in the classroom, you just may find the answers to your prayers in MacKenzie's approach to management of students of all ages.

The Young Patriots Series

By the Patria Press

Featuring the adventures of young American heroes, the folks at the Patria Press help young students get hooked on history through the lives of William Henry Harrison and Amelia Earhart. Readers can see these phenomenal personalities in a new light as they discover the stories of each hero's childhood. Because these famous people are presented as children, it's much easier for young readers to relate to their outstanding accomplishments; students will ponder, "If these children lived their dreams, maybe I can, too." Check out this ever-growing series of books if you want history to come alive for the young readers in your life.
