Opis

Based on the premise that teachers can only provide effective support for pupils with emotional and behavioural difficulties if they feel supported themselves, this book offers a model in which to set up support networks and practical activities which promote the notions of peer support and teamwork. The authors provide encouragement for increased collaboration between teachers so that they can learn to look at problems objectively and develop systems to share resources and strategies.
