“Veteran educator, Jeffrey Benson, draws from a career of more than 40 years as a teacher and administrator to offer sage and practical advice for dealing with disruptive student behaviors. His book is unique in that it goes beyond describing specific discipline strategies for individuals by offering a blueprint for collective action via a systemic, schoolwide approach to handling infractions with consistency and empathy. One could spend 30-40 years acquiring the wisdom he offers… or you could read this valuable book.”
– Jay McTighe, world-renowned education consultant and bestselling author of Understanding by Design
