Dr. Jones is great! He uses research based concepts to create his theories of classroom management, with an added bonus of humor throughout. I would highly recommend Tools for Teaching for any grade level.

This was not all that I had wanted it to be. I have gotten way better books on teaching.
Even the Experienced Teacher Can Benefit January 26, 2008

This is a must have for any teacher. I have been teaching for over 10 years and benefitted greatly from the information in this book. Every teacher has students that are described in this book. This book gives information on how to handle even the most difficult students. If you are a new teacher, I would also suggest The First Days Of School: How To Be An Effective TeacherI review both books every August.

First, I must admit that I have not yet read this book, since I only just now discovered it: I will remedy this immediately! I have, however, attended Dr. Jones' wonderful classroom management workshops, and I can't recall how many times I have related the opening exercise.
We, a group of anxious beginning teachers, were asked by the instructor to list all of the behaviors that our students demonstrated that drove us MAD! As we called out these iniquities, the instructor wrote them on the portable board in front of the room: "they talk when they should listen, they eat, drink and chew gum, they get up and walk around without permission, they don't pay attention, they always want to go to the bathroom, they answer without raising their hands, they play around with their friends, they show neither common courtesy, nor appropriate respect for authority...".etc.)
When we had finally begun to run out of crimes, the instructor, turned the board around and asked us to list behaviors we had observed during our last faculty meeting...
Natural human behavior is just that - whether it's observed in a seventh grader or a nearing retirement teacher. It's the context of learning to understand and work with human beings that makes Dr. Jones' methods so powerful. His workshops were the most valuable I ever attended as an educator, and I feel certain this book will also prove to be a gem. I am now an Assistant Principal, and I look forward to sharing his work with my teachers.
