The management of discipline is an essential element in educational practice, and at a time when teachers and managers are anxious about reported increases in violence and other forms of anti-social behavior there's a need for practical guidance and a review of current thinking. Based on the author's experience and research in a range of secondary and elementary schools, this book presents accessible summaries of relevant legislation and guides the reader through management theories towards effective practice.
