- Handbook on the Basics of Classroom Discipline by Ministry Tools Resource Center
If you try to transplant flowers with hardly any roots, the flowers often don't make it. Occasionally this kind of transplant will thrive without much trouble but usually you have some work ahead of you -- extra watering and fertilizing. So in disciplining, if you do not have healthy roots, managing the classroom will be an uphill battle. Many teachers will get so frustrated and discouraged that they quit. In this handbook you will find forty pages of training with 30 classroom discipline tips for effectively managing the classroom.
