Classroom Behaviour
A Practical Guide to Effective Teaching, Behaviour Management and Colleague Support
- Bill Rogers - Independent Educational Consultant, Victoria, Australia
This exciting new edition of the best-selling and beloved teacher's companion looks at the everyday behaviour issues facing teachers working in today's classrooms. Describing real situations and dilemmas, Bill Rogers provides theoretically sound strategies and best practices to support you in meeting the challenges of the job, as well as building up a rapport with both students and colleagues to enable positive and productive learning environments.
Written jargon-free in Bill's accessible and empathetic voice it includes in-depth strategies, practical examples, case studies and pragmatic hints and tips to put in to practice. This will make for informative and inspiring reading to all those involved in educating our children and young people.
The new edition has been revised and updated and now also includes access to an interactive website packed with a host of extra material to take you further.
- Videos of Bill demonstrating his behaviour strategies in real classroom settings
- Podcasts where Bill explains his ideas and ethos in more detail as well as answering teachers' FAQs
- Extra reading material for even more support on difficult subjects
- Behaviour Management Tool Templates to use with students in the everyday classroom
- Role-play scenario cards to help understand and prepare for challenging situations
“We often think of behaviour management in terms of dealing with challenging behaviour, but Dr Rogers begins by looking at classroom organisation and whole-class strategies. Alongside the theory, he provides examples that create a much deeper understanding of exactly what works and what doesn’t.” - Special magazine
This is an invaluable resource for a unit on Managing Behaviour and Raising Self- esteem
As a new teacher this book has given me lots of great ideas that I will use in my classroom.
This text is an integral part of any teaching course. It is used widely by tutors across the different qualification levels and shows many aspects of the management of behaviour to get your students thinking.
It is ideal for research into behaviour management as part of the courses and supplements the lessons and conversations in class.
I have no issue at all in recommending this text to all those delivering educational studies and at all levels.
At present not delivering the module on classroom behaviour but anticipate adopting it in future.
This text will be recommended reading on the UHI PGDE programme.
Prtactical and reflective chapters support the beginning teacher well.
A useful book to recommend to trainees during periods of professional experience.
Practical guidance will support trainees during busy periods in school.
Rogers writes in an engaging and often humorous manner, providing practical advice for students who are starting out on the road to teaching, which will assist them both their in placement settings and also when they return to the book once comfortably established in the role for guidance on that 'hard class' which we meet every year or so! A great book, I would thoroughly recommend this to both prospective and well-worn teachers.
Readable, practical. A useful, all round text, with case studies for illustration that make for good discussion topics.
This is a very good book for staff and I think it has some very wise ideas on how to handle just about any difficult classroom scenario. I will recommend it to my fellow teachers, but will not add it to our library as it is probably not that relevant for our students.
