Alongside the theory, he provides examples that create a much deeper understanding of exactly what works and what doesn't." - Special magazine

I cannot speak highly enough of Classroom Behaviour. All
educators will identify with the situations Bill describes. He does
not duck the realities in today’s schools and classrooms. He
provides clear guidance for putting professional integrity and
emotional literacy into practice from early,
minimal intervention to responding to the most difficult
student and the most challenging situation. Every teacher
needs this book, and every student needs them to have read it.
*Sue Roffey*
Now in its third edition, Classroom Behaviour owes much of its
success to the realism of its scenarios and case studies, and the
lessons and advice that the author draws from them. He gives us
forensic deconstruction and analysis, often with dialogue, of every
conceivable classroom issue, challenge and potential crisis. There
is much on language - tone, choice of words, and body language -
reminding us just how easily we can undermine our intentions by the
way we convey them. This new edition has additional material on
bullying, teaching autism spectrum disorder children in mainstream
schools, and working with challenging students.
*Gerald Haigh*
The scenarios are real and relatable, the feelings and reflections
honest, and the problem-solving strategies and interventions
realistic. All teachers, teacher-researchers, professional leaders,
and educationalists will benefit from contemplating and putting
into practice the suggestions and guidance in this book and their
students and colleagues may thank them too.
