Lee Canter's Assertive Discipline program has reached over one million teachers
through programs in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand.
Recently, the British Governments Department for Education and Employment endorsed
Assertive Discipline in its report, Excellence in Schools.
This widely used approach to classroom behavior management has been revised to
meet the challenges of today's classroom. This positive and proactive approach
helps teachers spend more time on instruction and less time dealing with discipline
problems.
Lee Canter, the author of this program, reports schools that have implemented the
Assertive Discipline Program have reduced suspension rates, unexcused absences, while
increasing cooperation, motivation and test score as a result of greater on-task behavior.
These outcomes help save schools money, reduce teacher stress levels and empower
teachers to build a harmonious learning environment.
