Classroom Behaviour

I cannot speak highly enough of Classroom Behaviour. All educators will identify with the situations Bill describes. He does not duck the realities in today’s schools and classrooms. He provides clear guidance for putting professional integrity and emotional literacy into practice from early, minimal intervention to responding to the most difficult student and the most challenging situation.

 

Every teacher needs this book, and every student needs them to have read it.

 

-- Sue Roffey
Now in its third edition, Classroom Behaviour owes much of its success to the realism of its scenarios and case studies, and the lessons and advice that the author draws from them. He gives us forensic deconstruction and analysis, often with dialogue, of every conceivable classroom issue, challenge and potential crisis. There is much on language - tone, choice of words, and body language - reminding us just how easily we can undermine our intentions by the way we convey them. This new edition has additional material on bullying, teaching autism spectrum disorder children in mainstream schools, and working with challenging students.      -- Gerald Haigh
The scenarios are real and relatable, the feelings and reflections honest, and the problem-solving strategies and interventions realistic. All teachers, teacher-researchers, professional leaders, and educationalists will benefit from contemplating and putting into practice the suggestions and guidance in this book and their students and colleagues may thank them too. -- Sandi Tait-McCutcheon
A detailed, practical book. -- Christine Smith * drupal *
This book is a good guide for educators to understand the students and colleagues behaviours especially in the education sector.
It also discussed the significance of effective teaching. Recommended for educators. -- Dr Habib Kassim * drupal *
Recommendation from previous tutor.
It is a fairly idiosyncratic approach which is liked by some trainees but not respected by others. -- Dr John Woollard * drupal *
Relevant to psychologists and also teachers. Clear summaries of up to date evidence -- Dr Sarah Rose * drupal *
This 4th edition continues to deliver practical advice on the topic that bothers most trainee teachers - that of behaviour management. Changes from the previous edition include more case studies and some updated text especially with regard to group dynamics. The additional access to online materials includes video clips, podcasts, extra reading, behaviour management tools and more. The only criticism that I have of this very readable and very useful text is that I′d like to see more evidence from recent research for behaviour management. -- Dr Sue Howarth * drupal *
on the reading list for 3 M level assignments and 2 undergraduate modules -- Gillian Golder * drupal *
Some good case studies which can be adopted for FE courses -- Miss Antoinette Unsworth * drupal *

This text will be an essential text for my trainee teachers on the Diploma in Education and Training. It provides an extensive range of factors affecting behaviour in the classroom plus lots of tips and ideas in terms of finding solutions to key issues. The section on understanding our own behaviour, and the effects on our learners′ behaviour is of particular interest. -- Mr Adam Spiller * drupal *

This is a fabulous, accessible book written by someone who clearly understands what it is like to teach today′s learners. Behaviour management is a fundamental part of teaching Functional Skills effectively and Rogers′ hits the nail right on the head again. -- Mrs Ruth Steyert * drupal *
As ever superb, straightforward advice from Bill Rogers. Easy to read with stacks of concrete suggestions to take away and try. -- Ms Clare Winder * drupal *

A text which really connects the theoretical with the application. A must for any trainee teacher and a thought-provoking text for established teachers. -- Ms Michelle Groves * drupal *
A most engaging text which should be read by trainee and experienced teachers alike. Thought-provoking and user-friendly. -- Ms Michelle Groves * drupal *
This is a very good book for staff and I think it has some very wise ideas on how to handle just about any difficult classroom scenario. I will recommend it to my fellow teachers, but will not add it to our library as it is probably not that relevant for our students. -- Ms Olga Mitterfellner * drupal *
Readable, practical. A useful, all round text, with case studies for illustration that make for good discussion topics. -- Ms Stella Harcourt * drupal *
This is a good reference book for both the trainees and the NQT′s. It is an easy read that is peppered with Bill Rogers humour. I would recommend this as a book for advice on dealing with various behavioural and emotional issues of both the pupil and the teacher. -- Sue Miles-Pearson * drup
