How to Keep Good Teachers and Principals: Practical Solutions to Today's Classroom ProblemsBetween the current "Me" Generation, the overabundance of discipline problems and violence, the stress of the accountability measures of No Child Left Behind, and the current state of the economy, many education professionals are retiring, changing jobs, or leaving the profession. This book serves as a helpful, hands-on toolbox to give educators more tools and strategies, including a new behavior modification model called Self-Correcting Behavior Modification. Educators will find that this book will help them to get much-needed answers and relief to their continued attempts to serve as effectively and efficiently as possible. --Book Jacket. |
