A Whole-School Approach
Pressure on teachers is increasing. Bureaucrats, economists, parent groups and students are all placing extra emphasis on teacher accountability and performance. Adding to this pressure are rising concerns about student behaviour. This difficult problem is having a marked effect on the stress levels and self-esteem of teachers.
As more schools focus their attention on developing whole-school strategies for dealing with student behaviour, the need for a book to support teachers as they strive to develop a behaviour management policy is evident. Bill Rogers, who has many years of international experience working on behaviour management, offers practical suggestions in an entertaining style and 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.
