“We often think of behaviour management in terms of dealing with challenging behaviour, but Dr Rogers begins by looking at classroom organisation and whole-class strategies. Alongside the theory, he provides examples that create a much deeper understanding of exactly what works and what doesn’t.” - Special magazine
Supplements
Good book, updated sections from previous edition.
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.
As ever superb, straightforward advice from Bill Rogers. Easy to read with stacks of concrete suggestions to take away and try.
This book is written very clearly in simple terms with great guidance on how to handle almost any situation. I have found the advice easy to follow and use. I would thoroughly recommend this book for anyone working within teaching or with people in almost any situation.
Excellent book for all begining teachers.
A text which really connects the theoretical with the application. A must for any trainee teacher and a thought-provoking text for established teachers.
A most engaging text which should be read by trainee and experienced teachers alike. Thought-provoking and user-friendly.
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.
Readable, practical. A useful, all round text, with case studies for illustration that make for good discussion topics.
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.
