Reviews

′In addition to the practical strategies provided and words of wisdom offered by the author, threaded throughout this excellent book there are opportunities for the new teacher to explore personal values, attributes, qualities and behaviour. The interactive exercises that encourage this reflection include case studies and reflection points and these make a wonderful addition to this second series′
- Colleen Cummings, Learning and Teaching Update
′There is far more to this book than the typical outpourings on behavioural management as the author, an educational psychologist, offers so much more. She offers advice about what it means to be a teacher and all the skills required to do this amongst fellow teaching professionals and within the school community, which includes pupils and parents. Perceptive, focused and easy to read – new teachers will rapidly want to turn the pages before the academic year starts and refer to it again and again!′ -
Youth in Mind Praise for the first edition: ′Reading the book, it was obvious that the author was writing from a perspective of having been there. I can certainly recommend this book. New and beginning teachers in both primary and secondary settings will find it a helpful and supportive resource′ - Behaviour UK

An introductory compendium of useful information and advice. The author has paid particular attention to practice and policy in the UK and Australia.
