Classroom Discipline 101 Ebook

• The Redirector-you end up redirecting students several times until your whole lesson seems like a redirecting class.
• Old Yeller-you have to yell 'quiet!' several times a class, just to have the noise start simmering again when you start the lesson.
• Lost in Space-students are running around the classroom, out of their seats and you have no idea where to start, shouting feebly 'sit down!'
• The Inner-City Special-students are entering and leaving the class at will, talking, shouting, listening to Mp3 players and throwing things while you stand there feeling powerless. Otherwise known as 'Invisible Man' (or woman)-it's as if you don't exist.
• The Lawyer-students lie to you, saying 'I wasn't talking' or whatever other misbehavior they are doing and you stand there foolishly arguing with them.

Before you buy a classroom discipline book from any other source, perhaps you should check the credentials of the author.

There are hyped-up marketing whizzes out there and cutesy theorists who claim all sorts of magic but who don't have the real life experience to back it up and have never faced the kinds of situations you and I have.

I have faced the toughest classrooms in Los Angeles, perhaps the toughest in the world, and have virtually eliminated classroom disruption and created respect in every case.

Now you can do the same!

I am still an inner-city teacher in Los Angeles and go home relaxed and stress free at the end of my day. You deserve the same - there is no magic involved.

Finally, you can learn the classroom management plan you need from a real teacher who has experienced thousands of difficult classroom scenarios, mastered classroom discipline and emerged as the teacher who knows how to eliminate behavior problems in any situation.

Look, as teachers we don't want classroom discipline just for its own sake or because we are on some kind of a power trip, but so that we can give to the students what we have to offer.

And maybe you find you want to learn this from someone who does not have to be politically correct, but who has had to establish classroom discipline even inside the worst behaved classrooms found anywhere.

If you want a long term teaching career you cannot battle disruption, noise and disrespect every day and also get your message across without leaving school feeling worn out. I wouldn't have lasted 20 years if I spent my time doing that.

Fortunately, at a fairly young age I developed a system of classroom discipline that was so 'tight' that discipline wasn't even an issue in class; I spent my time teaching instead of correcting behavior problems.

I honestly believe that should be your goal - not to have decent classroom control, but to eliminate behavior problems altogether so that you spend all of your time teaching.

That may sound too good to be true, but when you learn my principles of accountability and leverage it can be done. I am going to show you exactly how I apply those to eliminate behavior problems.

Let's face it-you wouldn't be reading this if your classrooms were the way you want them. Anything you learned about classroom discipline in college you've probably already chucked out the window. I don't blame you - it doesn't work!

Maybe you feel guilty because your classrooms are out of control, and think it is a shortcoming on your part. It's not.

You've been told to accomplish something without having been given the proper tools.

Do you know that an inner-city High School Teacher is rated the #1 most stressful job there is, topping the list over Police Officer, Air Traffic Controller, and Miner?!!

The reason is, as you may know, you are often given impossible requirements. You are told to keep rude students respectful, wild students calm, shouting students quiet - but how? By high expectations? By parent conferences? By relating to them culturally?

If these things worked then classroom discipline wouldn't
be the number one problem in education today.


I'm going to show you step by step how to virtually
eliminate classroom behavior problems.


If you'd like to:

1. Teach 100% of the time instead of disciplining your class.
2. Have students attentively listening to your lessons every class.
3. Go home at the end of the day feeling relaxed and stress free, not like you've just endured the Battle of Hastings.

This might be the most important letter of your teaching career.
How much is masterful classroom control
worth to you?

Finally-instead of discipline theories, suppose you could have a clear classroom managemnet plan to handle every kind of classroom discipline problem and learn to bring any classroom under control-with all students attentive, respectful, and quiet.

Imagine yourself in the classroom day after day spending all of your time teaching to an attentive, orderly class. That's why we got into teaching, that's what we deserve, and that's what I guarantee you are going to achieve.

Too good to be true?

Well, it isn't-not if you have the real-life tools I will give you that have earned me the reputation as "Mr. Classroom Discipline" --the teacher whose students are in their seats at the bell, quiet, respectful, on-task, and attentive all the time.

Even with the toughest classrooms in America.

Think about it. Knowing how to keep a classroom not only controlled but on task and attentive is the most crucial skill a teacher can have, without which no effective teaching can take place.

You have a lot to offer-you just need a good chance to offer it.

It is a terrible feeling going into class every day feeling you don't have the tools to get the atmosphere you deserve.

It is wonderful going into your class every day knowing that you will be teaching the entire time in a sane atmosphere, that you now have the tools to handle any situation, instead of trying to bring order or shushing a chronically disruptive student or yelling 'quiet' over and over.

Simply put, having your classroom under perfect control
brings the joy back to teaching.

But creating that atmosphere is the hard part...
You might figure out an effective classroom discipline plan after many years (though few do--I know quite a few veterans who haven't and endure endless stress, repetition, arguments and go home worn-out, dreading the next round tomorrow).

I know some teachers even cry at the end of the day-they have never been told it would be like this. And it seems the system defends the rights of students while ignoring the plight of teachers. That's backward.

Maybe you are too embarrassed to say 'My classroom is out of control' because you think it reflects badly on you, when no one has given you the proper classroom discipline techniques to address the situations you are facing.

I have been inside the classrooms of teachers who have been teaching for years and act as if everything is fine at teachers' meetings-and their classrooms are chaotic! So you are not alone.

Or maybe your classes are well-behaved to a degree but there is a constant undercurrent of noise or buzz and you feel that you've gotten close enough. But that steady classroom 'buzz' will wear you down over time.

That undercurrent really undermines learning in the long run and leaves you burned out. Even a little noise during a lesson is distracting and unacceptable.

Listen-I have solved this riddle. I wrote this book for you.

Instead of knocking yourself out day after day trying to come up with a way to finally get the control you want you can now within minutes have all of my tactics and procedures-the same classroom management plan that has enabled me to address every classroom situation knowing the outcome will be successful.
