Bill Rogers – författare

In framing this book, Bill Rogers discusses `what changes' and `what stays the same' in teacher leadership and behaviour. Original chapters from well-known writers and practitioners set out current approaches in behaviour leadership, in terms of practical concerns about behaviour management and discipline. The emphasis on teacher leadership is intentional, as the authors believe that the kind of teacher leadership in a school significantly affects the effectiveness and humanity of discipline and management.

All the contributors have a teaching background and all are directly involved with schools, in research and consultancy. Bill Rogers works in classrooms with teachers, as a coach/mentor. Each chapter demonstrates a commitment to support classroom teachers with practical action research in areas such as:

- Teacher leadership

- Effective teaching

- Colleague support

- Discipline and behaviour management

- Working with students who show emotional-behavioural disorders.

This book will be useful to teachers and other education professionals interested in behaviour management, discipline and colleague support issues.

At some point in every teacher's career he/she will encounter the `hard class' and from day one the countdown to the end of the day, term and year is on in earnest. But as demanding as it may be, a difficult class does not have to dominate and permeate through all waking moments. Bill Rogers, in Cracking the Hard Class, Second Edition, highlights many practical strategies that can be implemented to overcome the hard class syndrome.

These include: identifying what makes a class `hard'; developing a class behaviour plan; developing colleague support; following up on disruptive students; changing patterns of bad behaviour; and assisting relief teachers and the hard class.

As well as constructive ideas and strategies, Cracking the Hard Class, Second Edition also highlights the normality of the pressures and stress felt by teachers dealing with these classes.

In this revised and updated edition of Bill Rogers' bestselling book, the author draws on his extensive experience as an educational consultant and trainer to help teachers and managers develop a whole-school strategy for dealing with student behaviour.

In his distinctive accessible and entertaining style, he offers practical suggestions to support teachers as they face the pressures of accountability, assessment and rising concerns about student behaviour.

Topics covered include:

• positive discipline and the importance of consistency;

• particular skills in the language of discipline - verbal and non-verbal;

• techniques for managing bullying, aggression, rudeness and violence;

• methods to use with behaviourally disordered students;

• the 4Rs - rights, rules, responsibilities and routines;

• behavioural consequences including 'time-out';

• behaviour agreements - 'contracts';

• playground management;

• how to set up a behaviour management plan and express it in a policy.

Bill Rogers inspires confidence in a school's capacity to work as a cohesive, co-operative unit, linked with parents and the community, to manage behaviour successfully.
