Beskrivning
What do I do when children don’t seem to follow the rules? How can I create a classroom environment that promotes positive behaviour? How do I handle conflicts between students in a way that promotes inclusion?Every teacher faces moments of uncertainty when managing behaviour in the classroom, and for Early Career Teachers (ECT) these challenges can feel especially daunting. Drawing on insights from a diverse panel of behaviour experts, this dip-in-and-out guide navigates these complexities with confidence, compassion, and curiosity, offering practical strategies rooted in real-life classroom experiences.Each chapter provides actionable advice on topics ranging from classroom organisation and conflict resolution to handling individual and group behaviours. The guide goes beyond surface-level solutions, encouraging you to consider the ‘why’ behind behaviour while demystifying key concepts like ‘warm/strict’ approaches and trauma-informed practices. Contributors bring a wealth of expertise and lived experiences, and while perspectives may sometimes challenge your thinking, they collectively shape a classroom where every child feels safe, valued, and ready to learn. Case studies and reflections from the editor further invite you to deepen your understanding of the roots of behaviour and to strengthen your classroom practice.Whether you’re learning to establish routines, build connections, or navigate moments of disruption, Questions on Behaviour equips you with the tools to create a calm and inclusive learning environment. It will support you at every step of your teaching journey and is essential reading for ECTs, as well as a valuable staffroom resource for all educational settings.

Recensioner i media

'This is a book I wish I had had at the start of my teaching career and one I will be happy to recommend to the many people I work with who support early careers teachers. I know both from personal experience and from extensive work in ITT and the early career phase that behaviour worries are amongst the biggest barriers to making progress as a new teacher. Behaviour is also one of the the issues that has the biggest impact on wellbeing and emotional resilience. I particularly like the way the book uses a range of authors and perspectives to really dig into the underlying causes and helps build a fuller, more informed sense of the pupil as an individual with complex life circumstances impacting on how they show up.' Samantha Twiselton, Emeritus Professor and Former Founding Director of Sheffield Institute of Education (SIoE)'This is a refreshing book, encouraging teachers to reflect on behaviour with positive relationships, strength-based approaches and wellbeing, at its heart. Providing a variety of perspectives shows that there is not one way of supporting pupils; voicing this is powerful! It allows readers to reflect on their own practice, while developing their understanding further, in a way that works for them, their pupils and their context. The key message for me was "behaviour is not something to be managed but something to be made sense of to support", and this book provides us with the tools to do just that.' Rachel Thynne, SEMH Outreach Lead Teacher and author of Behaviour Barriers and Beyond and Understanding Anxiety at School
