Student Self–Discipline:
Helping Students Behave Responsibly
Stanley T. Dubelle, PhD, former Superintendent of Schools, Wilson School District (PA)

 · How to diagnosis and redirect student misbehaviors
 · Teacher skills for building student self-discipline

Unlike other books on student discipline, this is the first to help teachers develop student self–discipline. It provides a proven program and set of skills to help teachers build discipline from within the student.

The program and skills are based on behavioral research and the author’s many years of experience as a classroom teacher and hands–on leader of a large public school district. A selection of National Professional Resources (NPR).

From the Introduction

“Self–discipline! Who needs it? The answer: every student – in every school, in every district. Without student self–discipline, another person must be relegated to manage and control students’ behavior, and without some form of discipline, it is unlikely that students will behave properly.”

From reviews

“Student discipline is a concern among all those interested in education. Dubelle’s book responds to that concern with explanations of a workable student–centered system to encourage students’ self–discipline and responsibility. This book is helpful and necessary reading for administrators and classroom teachers.”  –Prof. Helen M. Sharp, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, in NASSP Bulletin (National Association of Secondary School Principals)
