An excellent manual on classroom behaviour
Really good content and useful tips
Bill Rogers' work was recommended and useful to me as a trainee teacher, now, as a teacher educator, I would definitely recommend that all trainees had access to a copy of this book to support them with different situations as they arise during their training and throughout their career. The chapters are written in a way that can be dipped into as and when a situation arises and referred to as and when needed.
This book offers good practical advise and strategies that will be of benefit in successfully managing behaviour in the classroom. It offers a good insight especially to new teachers and parts of the book would also be helpful to students to help them to understand why boundaries are important.
Clear and comprehensive. Lots of excellent practical ideas for improving behaviour for learning.
Bill Rogers Classroom Behaviour provides a comprehensive overview of considerations with regards to understanding pupil behaviour.
Such considerations are useful in developing an understanding of the potential complexity of classroom behaviour due a number of influences.
The use of case examples are particularly powerful in demonstrating how situations that may be challenging can be resolved effectively. Reference to additional literature and research informed practice provide additional examples of useful further reading to broaden understanding.
As stated in the preface, this book offers insight from experience and research to 'share practical skills for effective teaching, behaviour management and discipline'.
