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.

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.
