Marvin Marshall, Ed.D.,—an American educator, writer, and lecturer—is widely known for his programs on discipline and learning. His approach stemmed from his acquiring knowledge about youth as a parent, a recreation director and camp counselor, a classroom teacher, a school counselor, an elementary and high school principal, district director of education, and as a certificate holder from the William Glasser Institute. His approach is based on the simple fact of life that a person can be controlled by another person or organization but only can be changed by the actual person. This understanding that only individuals can change themselves is critical in influencing others. More information is available at www.marvinmarshall.com.
