I stumbled upon this book last summer completely by accident, but I am glad that I did! In three weeks of student teaching I have witnessed both the typical behavior of students described in this book and the failed strategies that most teachers repeatedly use to keep the "lid" on in their classrooms. Having read "Tools for Teaching" I feel confident that I can effectively handle and eventually eliminate the behavior of disruptive students. Although as a student teacher I am not fully able to implement the threefold strategy of limit setting, preferred activity time, and responsibility training I will certainly do so when I have my own classroom. Had I not read this book I would be forced to rely on useless techniques such as "snap and snarl", pheasant posturing, silly talk, and the "sick and tired" look when dealing with classroom management problems. If you are curious to find out what makes the previously mentioned techniques useless you simply need to purchase this book! |

I have been teaching for 15 years, have read countless books on teaching but this book is the best. I plan to give a copy to the new teacher I am mentoring. If you have read, The Frist Days of School, this book compliments it nicely. Whether you are a new or veteran teacher, this book is the one you need to read, especially for today's children. The fact that motivation, instruction, and discipline are all inter-related makes so much sense. I am anxious to start the school year with many of the ideas given in this book. |

Every teacher should own a copy of Tools for Teaching! I've been teaching for 20 years, and I've read hundreds of books for teachers. Very few come close to the power of Tools for Teaching! I have been recommending it to everyone I meet. I teach workshops for teachers, both in my district and across the country, and I take my copy of Tools for Teaching with me to share as a wonderful resource. Dr. Jones has a remarkable way of applying the science of psychology to the art of teaching, and his amazing insight provides the concrete tools that both beginning and veteran teachers need to become more effective instructors. Best of all, it's written with a sense of humor that will have you chuckling throughout the book! |

This book had some great advice for low-achieving boys in middle school. The seating arrangement suggestions work wonders. Also, the prompt-and-walk away method works for those helpless hand-raisers. I was just about at my wit's end, and this saved my first year from going to you-know-where in a hand basket! My seasoned colleagues really have made me feel great with their positive comments on my classroom-management skills. It really can help you feel good about what you do when things are in your control- Lord knows- we teachers have a hard enough time with the things that are out of our control. |

This is truly the best professional book on classroom management I have ever read. Why all colleges don't offer a classroom management class with this and Harry Wong's First Days of School as the textbook is beyond me. A great gift for any student teacher or for a recent graduate. |

This book is great! I was looking for a classroom management system that didn't involve the traditional approach (ex: 1st offense=warning, 2nd offense=no recess, etc.) I found it in Tools for Teaching. The author, Fred Jones, spent years observing and studying natural teachers (those teachers who seldom if ever have classroom management issues) and then wrote this book. He explains explicitly how to create a respectful classroom environment and how to maintain it. His method includes a lot of fun academic instruction time for students in the form of something he calls "PAT - Preferred Activity Time." I will be using his system in my own classroom this year. I highly recommend this book to every teacher. |
