I am about to start a job teaching emotionally impaired boys in 2nd and 3rd grade in a very urban school. I have a BS in Elem. Ed and an MA in Special Ed: Learning disabilities. I am looking for some really good books on positive and effective classroom management for Emotionally impaired (EI) students.
