Tools for Teaching is the fruit of over four decades of research and collaboration with teachers by Dr. Fredric H. Jones. Dr. Jones has studied the "natural" teachers - the ones who get the "good kids" every year and produce two years of learning in one. What do they do? In answering this question, Dr. Jones has described the fundamental skills of classroom management in great detail. Teachers say, "This is the first time someone has told me exactly what to do rather than just giving me generalities." Just as importantly, the book is both enjoyable and down to earth.
