This explores the key strategies within behaviour management. Case studies are useful and allow for worthwhile reflection. The pictures add humour.
Given the focus on behaviour management, this book is an excellent resource for students and tutors.
A good and useful resource to support behaviour management training; perhaps should be used to train whole teams rather than individual teachers as this is the most often cited difficulty teacher face with behaviour management is a consistent approach from all staff. Really accessible with Rogers' humour which helps to make this an enjoyable source of support for
teachers.
We have ordered several copies for the library and are recommending this book in seminars
Excellent advice given. Very readable and accessable. A worthwhile read!
This is a good reference for compulsory eduaction, however our PGCE and Certificate in Education programmes have an adult learner focus and the book is aimed at schools not colleges or university teachers.
theoretical background, practical strategies for the teacher trainee to base their developing understanding of behaviour for learning and behaviour management on. Highly recommended
