Free Book Offer For Educators
Two books are available free to educators as downloads from the web site of Dr. Thomas F. Kelly.
Dr. Kelly has 16 years experience as Regional Manager of the New York State Effective
Schools Consortium.
"Systemic Assessment for Quality Schools" is a school improvement planning
manual. It contains planning forms, worksheets, needs assessment surveys and other
school improvement planning materials. The book combines the psychology of William
Glasser, the systems thinking of W. Edwards Deming and the experience of Dr. Kelly.
School reform, on a national scale for almost 20 years, will continue to have minimal
success until we recognize that the chronic problems plaguing the system are structural.
Many examples of such problems are given as well as effective solutions.
The second book is "Character Education: Natural Law, Human Happiness and Success."
The single greatest concern in most schools is student discipline, which is seen
by most educators to be in serious decline. Present efforts to improve discipline
are not effective. This book offers an innovative approach to discipline based on
Natural Law. It combines the psychology of William Glasser with traditional morality
as the only means to happiness and success. The present national effort for higher
standards is overlooking the higher standards we need most, which are moral standards.
These books may be downloaded in Microsoft Word, Adobe or zip files. Educators may
make as many copies of parts or all of these books for nonprofit use in schools.
