Carol McClintic has taught everything from preschool to university-extension classes in the public education system over the past 35 years. She received her Bachelor of Science degree from South Dakota State University and her Master of Arts degree from California State University, San Bernardino. As part of her district leadership team, Carol conducted many workshops for the district and for universities. As an elementary and middle school teacher, she initiated use of the APA method discussed in these pages and saw immediate results: not only did her students' discipline problems disappear, but her students developed valuable skills for managing their emotions and handling social situations. Presently, Carol is the director of programs for educators and independent learning for the Natural Learning Research Institute.
