A must have for anyone working in public education in an increasingly complex and constantly changing environment.
  • Coping With the New Curriculum - Senior Grades: Strategies for working smarter not harder in the context of the new curriculum and secondary school reform.

  • Survival Strategies: This book will highlight classroom management strategies, starting the school year, coping with student behaviour (both good and bad), managing your time, and working in the Full Service School.
  • Crisis Management: Keys to Prevention and Intervention: This book updates Managing Conflict by dealing specifically with myths concerning educators' powers to discipline, proactive programs to prevent violence, harassment and theft, and intervention skills and programs that are safe, easy to implement and effective.
