this has helped with students behavior for a new course that I have started teaching on
The real life examples in this book gave me great insight into managing behaviour in my classroom. The tasks spread throughout the book helped to develop my understanding of behaviour management and to look at situations from different perspectives. A very useful addition to my library
This is a practical book, with useful examples of how teachers can manage difficult behaviours. Key learning theories are briefly introduced (Maslow, Skinner, Rogers), but the focus is on how to deal with disruptive groups in the classroom. Each chapter helpfullt ends with a summary of key points, "branching options" for how to explore the topic, and references. It is a shame that the paper quality is so poor and the font is very small. While the book is aimed at teachers in FE, there is much useful advice for HE practitioners.
In this book Susan Wallace provides and excellent resource for all student teachers wishing to enter post compulsory education. There are very few sources for behaviour management in this sector. This book will be of great value to students as well as experienced practitioners.
An interesting and well-structured book, which students on our life-long learning programme will find invaluable.
An essential read for those looking into classroom behaviours. Up to date with all relevant theories and academic situations, and a useful guide for further reading in this field.
Excellent for teaching adult learners
My learners have found the book to be useful and to offer sound strategies for the dynamic learners that they work with in FE and adult education.
Thx. This book is a good complement for school improvement literature.
This was useful for me
A topic that so many of our vocational DET students want more input on, we direct them to Wallace's book as there are useful, practical solutions backed by evidence.
Interest ideas within this text. Ought to be used more widely on UKPSF courses within HE.
This book gives clear information and advise regarding managing behaviour. I found the chapter on adult education especially useful for members of staff delivering lectures to students because they are a specialist in their area and not a trained teacher. It is easy to dip in and out of and gives good examples via case studies.
useful background reading for seminar and practice
A useful third edition update on an essential text with practical advice and useful case studies to illustrate key points. There are questions set to stimulate reflection on practice and useful summaries after each chapter. The book is very accessible and clearly set out.
An excellent update on the first edition to support students on their ITE courses.
excellent book , provides essential advice to manage behaviour in a learning environment.
For budding teachers this book provides details of how to positively manage behaviours in education. If used in conjunction with a CPD course, it could prove very productive. If not actually used on the course it will certainly be recommended as supportive text
I deal with unemployed learners who have severe problems which effect their learning. This book helps those you are new to teaching and need help to manage these problems. Easy read and helps you achieve this particular unit towards your teacher training qualification.
A useful book, with some helpful angles on behavior.
