This is a book about discipline strategies that will help any educator to achieve a workable classroom environment. In fact, to become an effective teacher, one must first become an effective classroom manager (Duke 1979). By accomplishing this goal, it is important to ask yourself if you can get students to cooperate in a task the very first time they are told or carry out the classroom procedures smoothly. If you answer yes to this goal, then you are no doubt an effective classroom manager. However, many teachers have trouble with this aspect of teaching fundamentals.
