"Anger in the Classroom will help teachers figure out the causes of anger and how to prevent it. Lots of good case studies." --Temple Grandin

A teacher with classroom experience over a period of years will naturally grow as an effective teacher. A teacher who does this with increased attention will be able to grow more quickly and fully. A teacher who adds to this, intention and self-study, will grow rapidly, and surpass the natural limits each of us has built-in. The real transformation may begin--along with a richness that might at times seem extraordinary, for both student and teacher.

Specific features:

• 50 case stories illustrating concepts and techniques
• Exercises for teacher/parent development--and enriched classroom practices

• to tap into un-nurtured personal strengths
• to face anger with strength in the individual and the classroom
• to create a classroom environment that will foster appreciation rather than resentment
• to provide practices for exploration and for specific results
• to prepare the teacher for passing experience and knowledge on to students
• to rekindle the excitement and joy of teaching
