Summary

This book is about: First, learning is the responsibility of both the teacher and the student. Second, if a teacher wants a student's behavior to change, the teacher must first examine his or her own behaviors and be willing to change them to increase the likelihood that the student's behavior will change.

All chapters begin with "The Hierarchy," "Principles of Classroom Management," and "Introduction." All chapters conclude with "Summary," "References," and "Exercises."
