It encourages teachers to be reflective about the principles that inform practice, so developing and enhancing their practice still further.' - British Journal of Special Education'I would encourage both practising teachers and those about to embark on their teaching career to buy a copy of this book. It is reassuring and places the teaching of children with emotional and behavioural difficulties exactly where it should be - at the heart of everyone's good practice.' - British Journal of Special Education'A very readable and insightful book for all school staff.
