Beyond Discipline: From Compliance to Community

Alfie Kohn

A vital alternative to all the traditional manuals that consist of techniques for imposing control, Beyond Discipline has earned the status of an education classic. Just as memorizing someone else’s right answers fails to promote students’ intellectual development, so does complying with someone else’s expectations for how to act fail to help students develop socially or morally. Kohn contrasts the idea of discipline, in which things are done to students to control their behavior, with an approach in which we work with students to create caring communities where decisions are made together.$23.95 detailsbuy

Punished by Rewards

Alfie Kohn

Do this and you'll get that. That's how we try to motivate our children and - guess what - it doesn't work. Alfie Kohn is here to tell you why. In this brilliant book, he dissects the whole idea of "carrot and stick" discipline. Instead build self-esteem and teach self-discipline, and maybe we can start to climb out of this hole we've dug for our children and ourselves. [Houghton Mifflin]$15.00 detailsbuy
