The final product is a comprehensive and highly applicable resource filled with true-to-life vignettes and practical, real-world analysis, including: • Defusing the angry screamer • Serving as mediator • Handling parents with blinders • Curbing school gossip • Dealing with public humiliation • Neutralizing the influence of drugs or alcohol • Maintaining confidentiality This book is a valuable and insightful resource that can take you from reactive to proactive. A not-to-be-missed tool for savvy teachers at all levels.
