Rules and Consequences

Students have four basic needs, and meeting these needs has a positive impact on their discipline. In "Rules and Consequences: One Major Reason Why They Don't Always Work and What Else Teachers Can Do" (previously titled, "More Teaching and Less Policing"), Rawlinson helps teachers examine how unfulfilled needs manifest in school and the classroom. She provides strategies that will help teachers satisfy students' essential needs and reduce behavioral problems. Teachers will have more time to facilitate learning when fewer incidences of misconduct occur. This book is a must read for teachers if they want to improve student behavior and increase student achievement.
