Product Description

A fantastically upbeat, invaluable guide to managing the really difficult kids in class. This is not a book about general classroom behaviour management. It focuses specifically on dealing with the high-end of challenging behaviour; and explores ways of working with the kind of student that exhibits this behaviour: the kind of student that is often preceded by their reputation, known for their ability to destroy well-planned lessons in a matter of seconds. This realistic and authoritative guide provides teachers with a range of practical strategies for managing the really tough students in their class. Engaging and uplifting, it should become obligatory reading for frazzled teachers everywhere.

Customer Reviews

Essential reading for any teacher
This is a must-have for any teacher, new or experienced. Everyone in the profession comes across extreme behaviour in today's classroom and needs all the help you can get. This book is the answer. It's also an entertaining read.

A 'must have' for teachers
The practical tips and advice in this book have been invaluable in my first year of teaching. Although the strategies deal with high levels of disruption, the techniques also apply to general classroom management and avoiding those minor issues escalating. I couldn't have got through my GTP without it!

Well written
The writer really knows her stuff. I would recommend this book for anyone who finds their students a problem and for anyone taking up teaching or instructing. It's well written and easy to read.
