Klappentext

"Classrooms present diverse arrays of student personalities and behaviors. Teachers never know what unique combination of students they will lead each year, what gamut of behavior choices those students will make each day. The possibility of negative behaviors can be daunting to address, but teachers can shape their classrooms in ways that encourage students to examine and improve their behaviors without compromising their class performance and self-esteem. In Tools Not Rules: Developing Self-Regulation for Improved Student Behavior in Grades K-8, Claudia Bertolone-Smith and Marlene Moyer present the Tools Not Rules (TNR) approach, a method that empowers students in monitoring, understanding, and improving their behaviors. This approach encourages students to dissociate who they are as people from the good and bad choices they make, allowing them to assess and regulate their behaviors more effectively without detrimental consequences of self-denigration, isolation, and judgment.
