Behaviour for Learning offers teachers a clear conceptual framework for making sense of the many behaviour management strategies on offer allowing them to make a critical assessment about their appropriateness & effectiveness in the classroom. Teachers need to be asking themselves the question How can I improve a child's learning?" rather than " How can I get them to behave?" The authors present a unique focus on the relationships which underpin learning placing an emphasis on the development of 'learning behaviours' & endorses OFSTED's view that it is essential to evaluate the efficacy of behaviour management against progress in learning. Essentially this book will help teachers: decide what strategy is best for individuals in their classroom be aware of the evidence / theoretical base that underpins that strategy use be able to evaluate the effectiveness of that strategy. Located within emerging agendas for enhanced individual holistic outcomes & increased partnership working this book seeks to synthesise the practical with the theoretical. Authoritative & timely Behaviour for Learning is compelling reading for all trainees & practicing teachers CPD coordinators & other professionals working with challenging pupils."
