Behaviour Management Skills and Strategies for the Modern Classroom: 100+ research-based strategies for both novice and experienced practitioners

This book combines the very best of old-school approaches, contemporary concepts, practical solutions and nearly a century of academic research about behaviour management. Containing over 100 practical strategies, techniques, concepts and ideas, both novice and experienced teacher alike will improve their practical and theoretical understanding of behaviour management by reading this book.

Learn how high performing teachers manage challenging classrooms, what works and what the research says about this often misunderstood but critical aspect of teaching. It is both a practical 'how to guide' as well as a theoretical exploration of the best practice behaviour management strategies and techniques known today.

This book is one of the few ever written that analyses challenging behavioural issues in sometimes painstaking detail. Learn the root causes, mechanics, approaches and solutions for common issues that teachers face in challenging environments such as chronic attention seeking, off-task behaviour, task-avoidance, patterns of low-level issues, relocation refusers, outright defiance and managing students with neurological, learning and other disorders. The book provides practical yet detailed advice on how to deal with every type of behaviour from the very minor to extreme behaviours of concern.

With dozens of never-before published techniques, this book offers new and exciting insights into the myths and realities of modern classroom practices. The author analyses and challenges long-standing beliefs as well as current trends and emerging ideas. Written by a teacher who has worked in many challenging schools, anyone interested in perfecting their behaviour management skills will not regret reading this bible of contemporary behaviour management.
