Classroom management is traditionally a matter of encouraging good
behavior and discouraging bad by doling out rewards and
punishments. But studies show that when educators empower students
to address and correct misbehavior among themselves, positive
results are longer lasting and more wide reaching. In Better Than
Carrots or Sticks, longtime educators and best-selling authors
Dominique Smith, Douglas Fisher, and Nancy Frey provide a practical
blueprint for creating a cooperative and respectful classroom
climate in which students and teachers work through behavioral
issues together. After a comprehensive overview of the roots of the
restorative practices movement in schools, the authors explain how
to: Establish procedures and expectations for student behavior that
encourage the development of positive interpersonal skills. Develop
a nonconfrontational rapport with even the most challenging
students. Implement conflict resolution strategies that prioritize
relationship building and mutual understanding over finger-pointing
and retribution. Rewards and punishments may help to maintain order
in the short term, but they're at best superficially effective and
at worst counterproductive. This book will prepare teachers at all
levels to ensure that their classrooms are welcoming, enriching,
and constructive environments built on collective respect and
focused on student achievement.
