What is the most effective way of managing pupils' behaviour? The effective management of pupils' behaviour has long been a principle concern, not only for classroom teachers, but for all involved with the management of schools. Motivating pupils and preventing disruption whilst developing positive relationships and promoting well-being can be difficult for any teacher. Roland Chaplain is the behaviour management specialist on the PGCE courses at Cambridge University, which topped the teacher training rankings and was named the 'pre-eminent individual provider' in the 2017 Good Teacher Training Guide. This book reflects the behaviour management element of the course considered 'excellent' and 'highly distinctive' by Ofsted. The materials are also used on school-based CPD courses and consultancy work. Fully updated to include recent changes in government policy, this second edition highlights the importance of behaviour management training for trainee and qualified teachers. Readers are provided with evidence-based training and personal development materials along with case studies and examples of how to apply research to practice. Topics include: - a theoretical framework based on what works in managing behaviour and how to apply it in school - whole-school and leadership roles in developing effective strategies to anticipate and eliminate disruption - enhancing teachers' efficacy, professional skills, coping and well-being - how socio-emotional development and stress affect adolescent behaviour and well-being - developing pupils' self-control and self-regulation - understanding and supporting pupils who have emotional, behavioural and mental health difficulties - a step-by-step guide to developing an effective personalised classroom management plan.
The book is enhanced throughout with evidence from contemporary educational and psychological research to support the advice and guidance offered. Each chapter includes thought-provoking and reflective materials for teachers and trainers, as well as readings for Masters level activities. Experienced and trainee teachers, school leaders and ITT providers will find this an indispensable guide.
