Synopsis
This practical guide is designed to help teaching assistants and other support staff manage disruptive behaviour with confidence and flair. The author responds to the range of contexts in which teaching assistants find themselves managing behaviour with realistic and relevant strategies. The book translates theory to practice with useful activities and exercises; helping you to develop existing 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 teaching assistants working in FE, it also contains a great deal of information which is relevant to other non-teaching staff.
