Praise for previous editions:
'He is consciously reflective of day-to-day classroom experiences and this 'in touch with' dimension in his writings gives him credibility and encourages his readers to develop their own practice' - Mike O'Connor, The Psychology of Education Review, Vol. 27, No. 2, pp.44-45
'He presents with vivid authenticity - his stories are always a potent cocktail of pain and humour - tales of classroom and school challenge with which any practicing teacher immediately identifies' - Professor Sir Tim Brighouse, Times Educational Supplement
'Bill Rogers has inspired a generation of teachers through his books and lectures. He has the gift of credibility, talking to real teachers about real classrooms, and never patronising us' - Geoff Barton, Times Educational Supplement
Bill Rogers’s books are always a great informative read and this is no exception. It’s full of practical guidance to help with classroom behavior.
A good resource that will help trainee students appreciate their pupils and affect pedagogy positively.
I would highly recommend this book to initial teachers. It is clear and very helpful and instructive in an area that many initial teachers find quite daunting.
classroom behaviour is always a problem within teaching but this book is a great read!
As always, Bill Rogers provides clear practical advice for behaviour management with plenty of examples for good practice. I know there is an early years / KS1 book but I would like a through primary version if possible for my trainee teachers.
Fantastic book full of practical ideas on how to improve behavior in the classroom. Will be great for students on placement in schools and also for myself as a professional.
Good book with strategies that could strengthen classroom management. The book is carefully structured; the reflection aspect is good. Whilst it is directed at the 4-18 age range the strategies can easily be adapted.
The text offers real practical suggestions and explanations to behaviour management in the classroom. An essential read for teaching practice for students and experienced teachers alike.
This is a really useful book for anyone who is looking to work with children and young people. It doesn't have to be just in a classroom setting as many of the ideas given can be adapted to other settings. A very good easy to read book.
