Practical school discipline : $b Applied methods, part 1

"Practical School Discipline: Applied Methods, Part 1" by Ray Coppock Beery is an early 20th-century educational manual designed to equip teachers with effective classroom management techniques. It highlights the importance of cultivating positive behavior in students through practical strategies and case studies. Rather than simply punishing misbehavior, the book stresses the critical role of teachers in understanding a child’s motivations and guiding them toward proper conduct. The goal is to create responsible individuals ready to contribute positively to society, achieved through a cooperative, understanding approach to discipline, which is presented as a vital training process. Teachers are encouraged to connect with one another and grow a collaborative environment of shared learning and refinement in teaching methods.
