This exciting new edition of the best-selling and beloved teacher's companion looks at the everyday behaviour issues facing teachers working in today's classrooms. Describing real situations and dilemmas, Bill Rogers provides theoretically sound strategies and best practices to support you in meeting the challenges of the job, as well as building up a rapport with both students and colleagues to enable positive and productive learning environments. 

Written jargon-free in Bill's accessible and empathetic voice it includes in-depth strategies, practical examples, case studies and pragmatic hints and tips to put in to practice. This will make for informative and inspiring reading to all those involved in educating our children and young people. 

The new edition has been revised and updated and now also includes access to an interactive website packed with a host of extra material to take you further.  

  • Videos of Bill demonstrating his behaviour strategies in real classroom settings
  • Podcasts where Bill explains his ideas and ethos in more detail as well as answering teachers' FAQs
  • Extra reading material for even more support on difficult subjects
  • Behaviour Management Tool Templates to use with students in the everyday classroom
  • Role-play scenario cards to help understand and prepare for challenging situations

“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

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.

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.

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.
