Tauber describes how educators can manage their classrooms by introducing readers to some of the basic discipline theories and showing them how they can apply these theories in a practical manner.
ROBERT T. TAUBER is Professor Emeritus, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Penn State-Erie, The Behrend College. He has taught and counseled in K-12, and has taught at the university level for 35 years. While at Behrend College, he taught a variety of education courses, supervised students on field experience, and served as Dean's Representative for the College of Education. Since retiring from Penn State, Tauber continues to teach graduate courses as an Adjunct Professor at Gannon University, Erie, PA, and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL. He is well published, both nationally and internationally, and has served two sabbaticals, one at Durham University (UK) and one at the University of Melbourne (Australia).
Drawing on 30-plus years of experience in education as both a
teacher and a counselor, Tauber presents a text for those who are
new to teaching or who have had little coursework in discipline. In
addition to expanding and updating the existing material, the
fourth edition includes three new chapters on democracy and
schooling, and how democracy impacts discipline; acting and
discipline, and how teachers can use acting/performance skills to
engage students and handle discipline problems; and the growing
problem of bullying in schools.
