First published in 1994, Caring Under Pressure examines the neglected area of stress and coping strategies of children and staff in residential settings who have to function within contradictory expectations of the general public and policy makers.The book discusses the development of specialist residential provision for young people in difficulties and explores the characteristics of young people moved in and out of specialist residential provision and of their carers. Based on phenomenological research, it discusses staff and young people’s experiences of stress in residential settings; culture and rituals of life there; and their perceptions of routines.This work is particularly valuable for professionals involved in the education and care of children in residential environments.

First published in 1996, School Improvement provides, through the recorded words and experiences of pupils themselves, a picture of how teaching, learning, and the organisation of secondary schooling might be improved. By presenting first-hand the pupils’ own thoughts on crucial areas of school life, the authors emphasise the contribution that pupils can make to the quality of learning. Observations on the positive aspects of school and schoolwork are balanced by comments on the anxieties and difficulties that pupils have in coping with increasing pressures and living up to other people’s expectations of them. Drawing on a wealth of data from interviews with eighty pupils over a four-year period (1991–5), supplemented by data from smaller studies, the book will help teachers to gain insight into pupils’ perceptions of schooling and recognise their capacity for constructive analysis of their school experience.

Behaviour management training of trainee and qualified teachers has been a national priority for some time. This second edition addresses the point that this training and practice should be evidence-based. The importance of adopting a research-based approach is a specific requirement of the guidelines on teacher training and central to this book. The training materials in this book give examples of how to put the research into practice, which in turn makes the text more useful for self-development, trainers in schools and university education departments. Moreover, these materials are supported with case studies showing how they have been used successfully in schools throughout the UK.
