Publisher's Synopsis
Dealing with challenging behaviour is a fundamental concern of all trainee teachers and even more so for those who are training to work with pupils' age 14+, whether within a secondary school context or post-compulsory college context.
This book will equip the practitioner with the skills required to implement change within problematic relationships and environments, and to explore a range of possible reasons as to 'why students behave in the way they do'.
Understanding Behaviour 14+ challenges existing paradigms in order to break down barriers; substituting and encouraging professional responsibility for promoting positive relationships rather than the passive acceptance of unwanted behaviors, or a reliance on a culture of 'blame'.
Key features of the book include:
- A brief and effective solution-focused approach
- Challenging existing paradigms
- Consideration of the process of reflection and evaluation
- Effective approaches to providing an inclusive classroom
