About this title.

A book from Angus Macfarlane ranks unacceptable and disruptive behaviour in schools as one of the most pressing concerns for today's teachers. Completely eliminating behaviour difficulties is probably not possible but reducing them is a realistic aim. In illustrating the links between behavioural theory and competent teaching practice and with its recurring theme of discipline, democracy, and diversity, this book provides a useful range of practical approaches, responses, practices, and procedures that teachers can use in their everyday work. Its focus is to help teachers to be skillful managers of students with challenging behaviours. Published in 2007 by NZCER.
