Behaviour management in the classroom can be one of the most challenging aspects of teaching, but with the right approach it can be rewarding and enriching for both student and teacher. The new edition of this best selling textbook provides a systematic and thoroughly updated overview of the major theories and styles of discipline in schools.

Drawing on the latest international research, the book outlines how teachers can develop a personal style in classroom management based on a sound understanding of theory. The emphasis is on proactive, authoritative approaches to discipline to engage students and facilitate the achievement of educational and social goals. The author demonstrates how it is within the power of schools and teachers to create the conditions under which even disadvantaged or disenchanted students strive to learn.

Behaviour in Schools 3E is the essential handbook for all trainee teachers and NQTs and a valuable reference for more experienced teachers who want to develop their approach to complex behavioural challenges.
