From the Author

The Pivotal Behaviour Management Handbook does not promote a system or promise an instant panacea to managing behaviour in the classroom. It delivers usable and flexible structures for the classroom that teachers can integrate into their own teaching style.

This handbook is designed for individual teachers to use and does not rely on or prescribe a 'whole school' approach. It has been designed to enable you gradually to improve the management of behaviour in your classroom.

It outlines the vital skills and strategies that effective teachers are using in their classrooms every day. As a teacher you need time to implement and integrate these skills. You should focus on a new section each week and then look at integrating the skills into your own teaching style. The course is designed to allow you to learn actively with tasks to complete after each training section. Each section explains the principles behind the practice, how it works in the classroom, what to watch out for in the early stages and the first steps for implementation in your own classroom.
