'What a privilege to read a book written by the person that has had the most impact on my classroom teaching and the whole ethos of our school.’ -Debbie Hoy, Headteacher, Brookland Infant & Nursery School, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire
Written by Behaviour Management expert, Bill Rogers and his daughter and Early Years teacher, Elizabeth McPherson, this book explores behaviour management in the crucial early years.
Essential skills are explored in detail through a wide range of case studies and with specific focus on:
- challenging student behaviour
- positive discipline practice
- students with special behaviour needs
- how colleague support can help our day-to-day teaching
- anger management and safe restraint
- how to set up and maintain a whole-class behaviour agreement.
This book is packed with practical strategies, approaches and essential skills which are easy to access and written in Bill’s inimitable
style, including the idiosyncratic illustrations he uses in his training events in the UK, Europe and Australia. This book is an excellent publication
and I would highly recommend it for anyone working with young children in the 3-7 year age range.
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.
A very useful, practical guide that will support students with behaviour managment strategies while on professional placement.
This book is grounded in the latest research on how to tackle behaviour management with particularly useful examples pertaining how to overcome issues with challenging pupils.
I strongly recommend I!
Excellent text for early years practitioners, for Education students at first and second year level.
Really good to have a focus on 3-7 age range. Some really helpful examples included in the book with lots of ideas and advice. High recommended.
Excellent book really help the students to plan for behavioural unit within the course
Very useful to have a book like this for Early Years professionals. Forming positive relationships is crucial to working with young children in the EYFS and this book provides excellent practical advice for all practitioners.
Incorporated into lead lecture materials for Behaviour Management on PGCE and School Direct programmes
This is just the book some of my students have been waiting for. Very useful and realistic.
