My top picks

Wow! All of those are fabulous books! The only one I have not read cover to cover is Setting Limits... If you are looking for a book that just helps you establish routines and expectations, I suggest Wong's book. If you
want to read about a philosophy, something to pattern your teaching and discipline behaviors after, read Love and Logic. If you want a straight-forward "do it like this in your classroom" book read Tools for Teaching. Like I said they are all great books but I feel that Tools for Teaching is the hardest to implement because you really have to make sure you use all of the ideas in the
book for it to work. For me, Love and Logic CHANGED my job and my classroom. I would have quit teaching had I not read that book!

If you're still unsure, page through a few of these at the library/bookstore. That may give you a better idea. And don't forget ebay or abebooks.com!
