Summary: This book summed up the course I just took
Comment: I just took a class in classroom management. The teacher assigned texts in adolescent psychology and development, but relied on the lectures to give us the management portion. This book describes a very similar style of classroom management, giving me a much better tool than the notes I took in class.
.
I especially like the scenarios in the book. In class, we got a lot of information on what was legal, and on extreme situations. This book gives much more detail on how to defuse a developing situation. In addition, the chapters on how to set the classroom management system up at the beginning of the year covered material that our teacher mostly omitted.
.
I will be using this book! I read it through during my winter vacation, when I thought I would be sick of education materials. It was so interesting I found myself reading "just one more chapter" before going to sleep.

Summary: A Good Start, But Not A Comprehensive Guide
Comment: In Setting Limits in the Classroom, MacKenzie does a good job of explaining the importance of setting clear rules with clear consequences. If you would like clarification of what it means to have clear rules and consequences, then this is an excellent book. However, it is important to note that this book barely addresses the needs of secondary teachers. The examples almost exclusively deal with elementary school teachers. For a better treatment of secondary school classroom management, I heavily recommend Discipline in the Secondary Classroom: A Problem-By-Problem Survival Guide by Randall Spirick.

Summary: Every teacher should read this book!
Comment: As a teacher who works in an inner city school, how I wish I had read this book eight years ago, when I first began teaching! It would have saved me much grief, frustration, and energy. I have recommended this book to all of my teacher friends and we all agree...it works! If you want real solutions to the real problems that teachers face in today's schools look no further. Mackenzie's system is easy to understand, easy to use, and very effective.
