Teaching Without Disruption in the Primary School
The effective management of pupils’ behaviour has long been a principal concern, not only for classroom teachers, but also for all involved with the management of schools. Encouraging positive relationships whilst preventing disruption and motivating students to learn raises complex issues. The author argues that a ‘multilevel’ approach is the key to successfully responding to the diverse pressures of teaching and managing behaviour. This well-organised, thoroughly researched book handles a variety of crucial issues with clarity and vision. A range of topics are discussed in detail, including: • teachers’ personal development—coping with stress, developing effective communication and assertiveness; • whole-school management strategies to anticipate and minimise disruptive behaviour; • classroom-level management—organising the classroom environment to promote learning and minimise disruption; • individual assessment and intervention with students who have emotional or behavioural difficulties. The book is enhanced throughout, with evidence from contemporary school based and psychological research, which is used to support the advice and guidance offered. Each chapter includes thought-provoking activities and questions which encourage readers to evaluate and reflect on their own and their school’s practice. Teachers, student teachers and headteachers will find this book an indispensable guide. Roland Chaplain is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology of Education at the University of Cambridge.
