Product Description
Product Description
How to manage their classes is not only every new teachers first concern, it s an area about which even the most experienced teachers are never complacent. This new edition of the Teachers Pocketbooks top-selling title is a practical, authoritative guide to creating calm classes and focused, co-operative students. The book starts from the premise that teachers cannot control the behaviour of children; instead they must seek to influence it. Teachers are most effective in managing behaviour when they focus on antecedents and consequences. This means building relationships and using preventative strategies followed by consistent use of logical consequences. The book covers different styles of behaviour management; getting the basics right; eight core principles and a ten-step discipline plan. A section entitled developing the toolkit offers a broad range of strategies for teachers to use. All are explained in practical, classroom terms with examples of phrases to use for maximum effectiveness. Underpinning the repertoire of techniques is a strong framework: the 4Rs rights, responsibilities, rules and routines. Liberal use of cartoons, diagrams, mnemonics and other visual devices reinforce the message and fast-track understanding.

Format:Paperback
An excellent and extremely practical book that deals with the subtle issue of behaviour management. Peter Hook is an expert in this field and provides lots of useful advice to equip teachers with the right "tools" for the job. Recommended for anyone embarking on their teaching career.

Peter Hook came and spoke to us on INSET last year and went through many of the strategies used in this book. This is not an encyclopedia, or a long investigation into the reasons behind poor classroom behaviour, but it is a pcoket book -I keep mine in my classroom desk drawer - which is packed with simple, straightforward and practical advice. Excellent examples of the Language of Choice to use. Invaluable.

The whole set of these pocketbooks are great. I liked this one as it offers great advice, in simple language. It gives you ready to use ideas and really makes you think about obtaining the positive out of many situations and so much of it from the language that we use. Some of the ideas are a little stomach turningly cheesy and seem exhausting when we are usually already tired, but on the whole a useful little book.
