In addition to examining in detail the various discipline approaches within the Rules-Consequences, Confronting-Contracting, and Relationship-Listening models, Wolfgang's new edition explores classrom management and its relationship with-and effect on-discipline issues. New to This Edition:

• New models including Dobson's Leadership-Punishment ; Albert's Cooperative Discipline ; and selections from Alfie Kohn's Punishment by Rewards
• Exploration of classroom management issues through the research and writings of Kounin, Evertson, and Emmer
• Discipline incident vignettes to demonstrate how each model would address particular situations
• End-of-chapter questions and concept tests to gauge the reader's understanding of vocabulary and key concepts

• Clear explanation of each model, with an analysis of strengths and weaknesses
• Balanced, unbiased approach to the many methods and models for classroom discipline
• Numerous examples and illustrations showing students how to implement each model in specific situations
