Faced with deteriorating behaviour with a long list of possible causes, many teachers feel overwhelmed by the problem of challenging behaviour. This book has been written to strengthen and inspire even the most battle-fatigued teacher. It provides:

• Clear, practical advice for senior management teams, teachers, classroom assistants and teaching assistants
• Definitions of troubled and troublesome behaviour
• A model of behaviour management
• Strategies for avoiding confrontation and dealing with it when it does arise.

Respected author Veronica Birkett writes with warmth and humour, bringing a wealth of classroom experience to this practical and accessible book. Taking the approach that prevention is better than cure, advice is given on how to create a positive ethos in which challenging behaviour is less likely to occur in the first place.

How to Manage and Teach Children with Challenging Behaviour is sure to become an indispensable guide to any teacher experiencing the daily challenges of a modern classroom.
