Rezensionen / Stimmen
Invaluable to early career teachers and experienced practitioners.Steve properly knows his stuff and communicates it brilliantly. His writing drips with authentic experience from a career in some truly wobbly places. Steve's advice is exactly what you need to upgrade behaviour in your classroom.I have worked with Steve for ten years and never fail to learn from him. This book is your chance to do the same.Paul Dix In this excellent book, Baker highlights the importance of understanding children, building strong relationships and loving pupils. Based on years of experience working in challenging schools - even the one I went to myself as a kid - he emphasises how vital adult behaviour needs to be in order to get the best out of the pupils. What we see in this book is the power of relationships and how we really must be sophisticated in how we communicate with children in our schools. If you are a new teacher then this book will help you take those first nervous steps into classroom management. If you are an experienced teacher then take a look - you may learn something new.Dave Whitaker 'Allowing the teachers to take control of behaviour' is a wonderful summary as Steve looks back and advises on how to teach Wade Booley as his younger self (without taking him around the back of the Portakabin, Kes-style). This book helps establish routines and helps build relationships for ECTs and experienced teachers. It is easy to read with a plethora of simple ideas, told in a humerous manner with examples we can all relate to. The takeaways are a perfect ending to each chapter, but the cherry on the cake are the 'Now Try This' reflective opportunities which allow teachers to make those positive changes. An exceptional read.Chris Dyson Through visiting thousands of lessons, Steve has a special talent for spotting those moments of interaction between adult and youngsters that are catalysts for relationships breaking down and the inevitable onset of crisis. That Behaviour Book looks at those moments, identifies the issues and provides sensible solutions that have proven to work in many schools. This book is an essential read for all adults working with youngsters.Mark Ayers This book will challenge you to confront yourself. Do not read it unless you are ready to go on a journey to being a better teacher and a better human being. Whilst this book provides so many valuable tools and strategies, it is so much more than a 'how to ... what to do if' book. Steve is clear that our biggest asset in the classroom is our willingness to see children as fellow human beings. As Steve eloquently puts it, 'Your job as a teacher is to help young people build their futures, to assist them to thrive and achieve their potential.' I have long been suspicious of the so-called 'zero tolerance' approach to behaviour. How can we say we love and value our children and have developed sophisticated policies and protocols to safeguard our children from harm, yet say we have zero tolerance of behaviour, which may well be communicating distress, trauma, fear and distrust? Perhaps the most subversive thing about this book is that it challenges the notion that children and young people are to blame for disruptive classrooms. As adults in the classroom, we have the power to create learning environments of mutual respect; Steve provides both the tools and research to prove this to be true. Steve is himself a student of life, and in this book he is honest enough to laugh at himself. This book will make you laugh at yourself too. Steve's anecdotes are presented in a wonderful 'Gervase Phinn' style and readers will identify with so many of the stories relayed by Steve. Reading this book gave me hope. Hope to believe that there is a better way to teach and support our children, not least those from broken homes and dysfunctional families. Nelson Mandela suggested that education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world. Yet too many of our children are being excluded from lessons and even their own school community every day. If every teacher and every Ofsted inspector were to read this book, and apply the challenges and tools provided in their professional work, I believe we would see outcomes improve and the so-called disadvantage gap close significantly.Paul TinsleyWeitere Details
