Opis

This complete INSET course for schools shows teachers how to improve behaviour in the classroom. This resource provides support, guidance and information to facilitate the enhancement of positive behaviour management approaches. The authors have provided photocopiable resources and training materials for use with staff groups or individuals. Drawing on their experience of dealing with children's emotional behavioural difficulties and their work in mainstream schools, the authors explore the behavioural issues which challenge teachers on a daily basis and discuss how teachers can meet these challenges.

Recenzje

'Better Behaviour in Classrooms is an impressive distillation of mostly practical approaches. It starts with a worthy ... account of the structure of the brain, then ... some excellent ideas on why we must engage with the student culture and how to promote high achievement through praise and involvement.' - Geoff Barton, Times Educational Supplement

'Teachers wishing to obtain a greater understanding of pupil behaviour and schools wishing to instigate an effective whole school approach to these issues will find this resource a sound starting point.' - Jerry Glazier, Education Review, NUT
