English summary and update of our book and work in Sweden (October 17, 2006) Adobe pdf
Our hard cover book “Ordning och reda – ett steg på vägen mot harmoni och dynamik i klassrummet”, Fortbildningsförlaget, Stockholm, 2006.
Note: The book is being translated into English. “Order and Discipline in the school – one step on the path to dynamic harmony in the classroom”.
In the book we describe the application of Spiral Dynamics Integral and the staircase model “It’s Your Choice!” in education using case study examples from our work in Sweden.
Back cover
Negative behaviour is rewarded in today’s school. You don’t agree with us? Follow us and visit a classroom, whichever you like, wherever and whenever. You will hear the names of those students who behave badly. Whereas the students who behave well and do what is expected hear seldom their names. That’s why we speak often about the obvious value in seeing and rewarding positive behaviour and ignoring or thoroughly stopping negative behaviour. There is nothing new in that – what is new is that we place this phenomenon in a bigger context.
