Discipline with Dignity

Discipline with Dignity offers specific ways to involve students in defining classroom procedures, rules, and consequences based on values or principles compatible with learning. Curwin and Mendler identify strategies for working with children who are physically aggressive and explode without provocation. The basic strategies include prevention, action, and resolution; the authors expand on those ideas and share examples and practical applications for educators. Curwin and Mendler explain the principles and related strategies that are as applicable to the problems faced in inner-city schools as they are to rural and suburban schools.
