Promoting Behaviour for Learning in the Classroom offers essential support to help you develop capacity and confidence in managing behaviour in the group setting of the classroom.It provides a concise analysis of established behaviour management strategies, recognising that no single approach will work for all pupils and that central to effective practice is an understanding of the different personal attributes and experiences teachers and pupils bring to the classroom.Illustrated by examples from the classroom, Promoting Behaviour for Learning in the Classroom uses the tried and tested ‘Behaviour for Learning’ framework to show how teachers’ expertise in promoting learning can be used to improve behaviour. Key issues considered include:Developing positive relationships in the classroomUnderstanding personal style and self-managementEffective use of feedback and rewardsUsing positive correction and sanctionsWorking with school systems and frameworks for managing behaviourIndividual differences and special educational needsDealing with challenging behaviourWritten by experts in the field, Promoting Behaviour for Learning in the Classroom offers much-needed in-depth, realistic support and guidance to show teachers how to improve learning and behaviour in the group setting of the classrooms.

First Published in 2000. This book is one of a series concerning the implementation of effective practice for Individual Education Plans (IEPs ). It seeks to address emergent challenges for schools that IEPs should retain their role in the provision of planning and record keeping for pupils with special educational needs, but that the paperwork burden should be reduced and manageability achieved. The book outlines key principles for the design of IEPs for dyslexic pupils and offers practical advice on target writing and strategy development for teachers and SENCOs in mainstream schools, special schools and dyslexia units. Like other books in this series, the ideas and activities to support institutional self review and development are produced in a photocopiable format.

First published in 1999. This book addresses the principles behind individual education plans for pupils who exhibit speech, language and communication difficulties. The authors provide practical advice for compiling education plans and ideas for institutional self-development, and discuss the key areas of concern for teachers: how can there be agreement on the targets when the pupil functions differently in different contexts? Should the aim for pupils be on accessing the curriculum or social communication? How can speech and language targets be met across a range of subject areas? Given that language is dynamic, can the static IEP document provide a feasible blue-print for action? Can the challenge of monitoring IEPs for speech and language targets be realistically met? To what extent can teachers deliver specialist strategies to meet IEP targets in the absence of speech therapy support? How can new developments in IT support IEP delivery for students with speech, language and communication difficulties?

First Published in 1998. This book is part of a series of books on individual education plans (IEPs), each focused on a specific aspect of special educational needs (SEN) and intended to support effective practices in mainstream schools working to make their provision inclusive. This book has attempted to put forward a case for IEPs as part of a school’s ‘inclusive and effective practice’ for the diversity of its pupils and the requirements of the 1994 Code of Practice. Further DfEE guidance on IEPs is planned to support the revised Code and it is the authors' intention that this book will support schools in developing and evaluating any improvements they make to their existing IEP procedures.

First Published in 2001. An inclusive education is one which seeks to respond to individual differences through an entitlement of all learners to common curricula. (Armstrong and Barton 2000). This book attempts to respond to this definition of inclusion by examining the principles of the literacy curriculum and a range of pedagogic practices. The complex relationships between inclusion, literacy and learning are acknowledged and it is argued that quality learning in language and literacy can work towards increased equity and involvement within the classroom community.

Published in 1998. Ideas and procedures contained in this book have been developed with practitioners in many different settings. The book is based on observations of current practice and recognises that schools will be at different stages of development and may have differing priorities and resources. The proposed review of the Code of Practice, and the response to the Green Paper on SEN, will be an opportunity for schools to reassess the effectiveness of their procedures in meeting the special educational needs of their pupils. The format of the book reflects three key aspects of the development of IEP procedures

Behaviour for Learning offers teachers a clear conceptual framework for making sense of the many behaviour management strategies on offer, allowing them to make a critical assessment of their appropriateness and effectiveness in the classroom, and assisting them to promote closer links between ‘behaviour’ and ‘learning’. Now in a fully updated second edition, the book focuses on how teachers can provide a safe and secure setting where positive relationships are fostered, placing increased emphasis on learning behaviours that contribute to pupils’ cognitive, social and emotional development. The book is full of practical approaches that can help teachers support pupils to achieve, relate to others and develop behaviours that characterise self-esteem, confidence and resilience. It includes chapters covering:• relationship with the curriculum, relationship with self and relationship with others;• whole-school approaches and the school behaviour policy;• reframing special educational needs;• dealing with more challenging behaviour;• transitions.This second edition also includes an updated emphasis on the links between mental health, behaviour and relationships in schools, and reflects Department for Education advice for school staff, changes to the National Curriculum and the new SEND Code of Practice. Through the application of the Behaviour for Learning framework, the book encourages teachers to address the needs of pupils who exhibit behavioural difficulties, whilst still pursuing excellence in teaching and learning for all pupils. It is a compelling and essential read for all trainees and practising teachers, CPD coordinators and other professionals working with children in schools.
