Synopsis

This practical guide covers current guidelines and revised HLTA policies and is designed to help teaching assistants and other support staff deal with behaviour in the classroom. The author focuses on the reader's own conduct as a starting point for behaviour management; this text will account for the various circumstances in which a Teaching Assistant may have to manage behaviour, and will also provide advice on working with the class teacher.

The book is full of key ideas and useful activities and exercises and can help develop exisiting skills as well as build confidence.  The author refrains from using negative terminology and a 'them and us' approach, and consequently has been praised for presenting practical advice whilst adopting a positive approach.  The book appeals equally to both primary and secondary school staff, and also contains a great deal of information which is relevant to other non-teaching staff.
