`The book is a comprehensive and practical work addressing the issues of today's classrooms, and it is written by a person well-aware of how demanding teaching can be' - Ole Bang-Larsen, Chief Psychologist and Manager of Special Education, Vicing Office, Braedstrup Community, Denmark Drawn from the observation of master teachers as well as the author's own classroom experience, this book contains many time-tested ideas, activities and strategies for empowering students while establishing an `invisible' authority that commands respect. The book takes the guesswork out of organizing and maintaining a classroom environment in which the students fell secure, happy and challenges and in which teachers can teach more and discipline less.
