Win-Win Discipline: Strategies for All Discipline Problems

*(All Grades)

The single most comprehensive and effective classroom discipline program

Win-Win Discipline is the single most comprehensive and effective classroom discipline program available. Period. Never before has there been a more practical and powerful step-by-step approach to discipline. Win-Win seeks a higher goal than other discipline programs: The goal is not merely to end disruptions; the goal is to teach students to meet their unmet needs so they no longer need to be disruptive. Watch disruptive behavior disappear as Win-Win…

• Turns anger into rational decision-making
• Replaces boredom with active engagement
• Channels excess energy into productive learning
• Transforms attention-seeking into self-validation
• Ends control-seeking via learned self-efficacy
• Converts avoidance of failure into self-confidence

If we end a disruption, we improve our classroom for a while. If instead we foster autonomous responsibility, we prevent future disruptions and empower our students for a lifetime. Win-Win provides proven step-by-step strategies and structures to prevent disruptions, for the moment-of-disruption, and follow-ups. Go beyond manipulative tricks to end disruptions. Use Win-Win's proven approach to prevent disruptions by teaching learned responsibility.

With Win-Win Discipline, you create a safe, comfortable learning environment for you and your students—a place where students are excited to come and where you don't feel stressed by the end of the day. Win the freedom to focus on learning and growing, not on disruptions. With Win-Win your students win skills for a lifetime and you win the freedom to do what you do best—teach without disruptions.

Here is what educators are saying:

"Simple, practical, just right. With the Kagan framework in place no one can fail. The techniques found in this book apply to life — in and out of the classroom."
— Barbara Longstreth, 4th/5th grade teacher

"Taught me that "behavior is a message." I can see so many applications past the classroom. It would be good in business, church, home, and with kids' extra-curricular activities like scouting and sports. Make it a way of life!"
— K.C. Blackketter, 1st grade teacher

"I can use these strategies not only with my students but with my family and friends. These are life skills here that would benefit everyone."
— Dawn Plagianes, 7th/8th grade ESL/Language teacher

"Win-Win Discipline gives "skills" and "how to's" to deal with people from all walks of life. This course should be mandatory for all teachers! You've made me a better person from by what I've learned during my class. Thank you!"
— Nancy Cox Hill, 6th grade teacher

"I cannot wait to get back to my district and spread the news about Win-Win Discipline. This is a must for teachers and especially administrators."
— Diane Roberts, teacher/trainer

"The comprehensive and practical steps, gambits, examples, etc. are wonderful. These concepts are common sense, yet the way they've been presented in this book make them into "A-HA" moments. Thank you for changing the way I think about discipline in my classroom! I look forward implementing them and changing the way I relate to my students."
— Lori Wilbanks, 8th grade Language Arts teacher
