Book by Lee Canter, Marlene Canter

Lee Canter, the developer of Assertive Discipline and Classroom Management for Academic Success, has enjoyed a lengthy career as a creator of cutting-edge training programs for educators. Lee attended California State University, and then completed a master's degree in social work at the University of Southern California.

He has authored more than 40 best-selling books for educators, including Succeeding With Difficult Students.
