I really enjoyed the simple way the ideas for classroom management were presented in this book. There's explanation, followed by examples and scenarios. The concept is an equally easy one to implement in the classroom - I tried it out the last month of school and found it really effective and plan to continue using it in the future. For me, the 1-2-3 method is the "meat" of the book - for stop behaviors. They have a whole other section for "start" behaviors focusing on rewards and relationships and - while that's useful for sure, I don't think that's really the area most of us struggle with. At least not me. I think this system would work well with Love and Logic, a management method I like. The narration was enjoyable and easy to listen to, though I could see wanting a physical copy to refer back to more easily. I found myself leaving little bookmarks throughout so I could refer back to parts as I was implementing in my own classroom.
