This slim volume is an amazing bang for the buck. The book is but 142 pages long; however, as it’s divided by grade level, a teacher can read fewer than 40 pages and garner quite a bit of information in just a little time from these jam-packed pages, making it a real time-saver,

While Discipline Strategies for the Classroom: Working with Students isn’t as good as Ruby K. Payne’s masterwork, Framework for Understanding Poverty, it's definitely worth reading. While I wouldn’t want to pay full price for so few pages, it’s work getting second-hand or checking out of the library.

Teachers always say if you get a few new ideas from a book or PD, then it was worthwhile. I did get a few new good ideas, but it felt like there was a lot left out in this book. She would mention something and then not go into detail about it. I am doing a Colorado Copilot class with this book and there has been a lot of good discussion with the other teachers using this book, but I would not pick this book for my only discipline book.
