It covers are major areas in classroom management that are students need to know.
I found that the book covers theory, FBA, multiculturalism- it kind of has a broad rather than in depth way of tackling the issues. I did like the chapter on legal issues.
Sheperd's book is both timely and practical. A great thought provoking read
