The Behaviour Management Handbook

by Paul Dix, Pivotal Education

When you see a good teacher in the classroom their behaviour management seems effortless. Their classes are relaxed and good humoured, the students are attentive and engaged in the learning, relationships are positive and there is mutual trust in the room. Students who are challenging elsewhere in the school seem to have undergone a miraculous transformation. Other staff accept that the teacher has orderly classes but often attribute this to the strength of their personality, their time in the school or their physical presence in the room. Their behaviour management skills are rarely discussed because they are applied so discretely that they are difficult to identify, let alone emulate. Yet these teachers have not woken up one day with the gift of good behaviour management.  What are the skills that they have honed over time, what strategies are disguised by the fluency of their teaching and how do they get through an entire lesson without breaking out in a rash brought on by stress?  

The handbook includes sections on:

- Emotionally Secure Classrooms
- Consistency and Certainty
- Learning Rituals
- Language of Behaviour Management
- Praise
- Sanctions
- Managing Confrontation
- Support from Managers and Parents
