Product Description
This book is the follow-up to its immediate predecessor, The Quality School. Based on the work of W. Edwards Deming and on Dr. Glasser's own choice theory, it is written for teachers who are trying to abandon the old system of boss-managing, which is effective for less than half of all students. William Glasser, M.D., explains that only through lead-management can teachers create classrooms in which all students not only do competent work but begin to do quality work. These classrooms are the core of a quality school. The book begins by explaining that to persuade students to do quality schoolwork, teachers must first establish warm, totally noncoercive relationships with their students; teach only useful material, which means stressing skills rather than asking students to memorize information; and move from teacher evaluation to student self-evaluation. There are no generalities in this book: It provides the specifics that classroom teachers seek as they begin the move to quality schools.

 Idealistic AND practical March 8, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I read this and Glasser's prequel, The Quality School. While the first book makes many good points, it is not very useful to the teacher. Glasser appeared to use that book to explain how principles of the quality workplace can be applied to the classroom. This book, The Quality School Teacher, is much more hands-on and gives practical advice on how to get students to achieve quality work. This goes against many traditional methods...some may accuse it of being idealistic and impractical. I believe it is idealistic and very practical. This is one of those books you'll want to keep around and refer to from time to time to be inspired when things aren't working in your class.
I don't understand why the other reviewer gave this only two stars but had only good things to say about it.
 Good reading. . . . September 22, 1999

This book was very interesting. As a student at Byron Center High School, in Byron Center, Michigan, I was required to read this book in a class. Our class engaged in very heated discussions and debates over the ideas presented in this book. I would recommend this book to any school interested in incorporating the Choice Theory into their school!
