"This book gives you advice on behaviour management that is easily accessible and equally easy to apply. After all, how many of us, snowed under with reports to write and lessons to plan, have time to wade through endless theory? This book provides plenty of information on the basic of behaviour management, lots of tips for controlling your classes, and ideas for managing the physical aspects of the classroom environment. The ideas and advice given are based on common sense observations and strategies that have worked for me. I hope you find this book a useful reference source for your everyday teaching, one that you can turn to for ideas when you need them or to find alternative strategies for dealing with the management of your own class or classes " Sue Cowley

Contains two new chapters on managing confrontation and the effective teacher.
