Beyond Control: Heart-Centered Classroom Climate and Discipline

by Alan Bandstra

Even though classroom discipline problems may be reduced through behaviour management, what can be done about the factors that drive misbehaviour? Weeds like negativity, apathy, and unkindness are too slippery to be uprooted through consequences or incentive plans alone. A heart-centred classroom climate aims beyond exterminating the bad by striving to grow something more positive in its place. Combining insights from motivational theory, Scripture, and 25 years of classroom experience, Bandstra provides encouragement and advice to teachers who struggle with the attitudes of wayward children. Despite the serious nature of this topic, his narrative style makes the book easy to follow and fun to read.
