Quality School Teacher Ri

This book is the follow-up to its immediate predecessor <em>The Quality School.</em> Based on the work of W. Edwards Deming and on Dr. Glasser's own choice theory it is written for teachers who are trying to abandon the old system of boss-managing which is effective for less than half of all students. William Glasser M.D. explains that only through lead-management can teachers create classrooms in which all students not only do competent work but begin to do quality work. These classrooms are the core of a quality school. The book begins by explaining that to persuade students to do quality schoolwork teachers must first establish warm totally noncoercive relationships with their students; teach only useful material which means stressing skills rather than asking students to memorize information; and move from teacher evaluation to student self-evaluation. There are no generalities in this book: It provides the specifics that classroom teachers seek as they begin the move to quality schools.
