Full Description
Is the behaviour of some of your learners a concern for you?
Do you want to address low-level disruption in your classroom?
Have you developed medium- to long-term strategies to motivate your learners?
This book is a response to the number one concern of teachers - behaviour management. It offers you a straightforward toolkit of strategies and approaches with examples of how they might be applied in practice. It is short and to the point. It doesn't make you wade through a lot of theory but points you to where you can find out more about the thinking behind the strategies. Designed to be read over a week, the book is divided into seven concise chapters to help you build positive relationships and a productive classroom environment.
