Behaviour Management
A Whole-School Approach
- Bill Rogers - Independent Educational Consultant, Victoria, Australia
In his distinctive accessible and entertaining style, he offers practical suggestions to support teachers as they face the pressures of accountability, assessment and rising concerns about student behaviour.
Topics covered include:
• positive discipline and the importance of consistency;
• particular skills in the language of discipline - verbal and non-verbal;
• techniques for managing bullying, aggression, rudeness and violence;
• methods to use with behaviourally disordered students;
• the 4Rs - rights, rules, responsibilities and routines;
• behavioural consequences including 'time-out';
• behaviour agreements - 'contracts';
• playground management;
• how to set up a behaviour management plan and express it in a policy.
Bill Rogers inspires confidence in a school's capacity to work as a cohesive, co-operative unit, linked with parents and the community, to manage behaviour successfully.
Praise for the First Edition:
'Bill Rogers has an entertaining style and communicates his ideas in a way that will be easily accessible to teachers' - Behaviour UK
'This is an extremely readable book on children's behaviour and the management of behaviour in a classroom and school context. It also provides a useful guide to developing a whole school approach to positive behaviour' - Amazon Review
This explores the key strategies within behaviour management. Case studies are useful and allow for worthwhile reflection. The pictures add humour.
Given the focus on behaviour management, this book is an excellent resource for students and tutors.
A good and useful resource to support behaviour management training; perhaps should be used to train whole teams rather than individual teachers as this is the most often cited difficulty teacher face with behaviour management is a consistent approach from all staff. Really accessible with Rogers' humour which helps to make this an enjoyable source of support for
teachers.
We have ordered several copies for the library and are recommending this book in seminars
Excellent advice given. Very readable and accessable. A worthwhile read!
This is a good reference for compulsory eduaction, however our PGCE and Certificate in Education programmes have an adult learner focus and the book is aimed at schools not colleges or university teachers.
theoretical background, practical strategies for the teacher trainee to base their developing understanding of behaviour for learning and behaviour management on. Highly recommended
