About this title

Synopsis

Changing Behaviour in Schools shows teachers how to promote positive behavior and wellbeing in a school setting. Taking an holistic approach to working with students, the author provides examples of effective strategies for encouraging pro-social and collaborative behavior in the classroom, the school and the wider community. Chapters look at the importance of the social and emotional aspects of learning, and ways to facilitate change.

Issues covered include:

• developing a sense of belonging in the classroom

• teaching approaches that maximize engagement and participation

• how to respond effectively to challenging situations

• ways to re-engage with students who have become marginalized.

Each chapter has case studies from primary and secondary schools, activities, checklists and suggestions for further reading. This is an essential textbook for trainee and newly qualified teachers, who want to become good teachers and manage student relationships with confidence, respect and resilience.
