Practical advice
|
|
The author is a lively speaker and this is reflected in his book. The book is an easy read and is packed with sound, practical, no-nonsense advice. Invaluable - I have noticed a marked improvement in the behaviour of my pupils since implementing Paul's tips.

It really works!
|
This is such a comprehensive book and very readable. It's clearly laid out with a consitent format and an index, which makes it easy to find specific and relevant information. With meaningful quotes, principles of the approach to take defined clearly, anecdotal examples, actions to take, exercises, key ideas if you just want a quick pointer and action plans (if you have nothing else to do!) it ticked all the boxes for me. Although very secondary based, the strategies are transferable to the primary classroom.
The approach is so reasonable and pupil centered and all about relationships. I also like the way it examines teacher behaviours and it made me reflect on the messages many other aspects of my school were giving to children. It has made me much more conscious of my ability to control situations.
This book is a really useful working tool with space for notes and stuff on the CD to print out to support positive action.

Taking Care of Behaviour

This book is so well written and easy to follow, I think every teacher should have a copy, no matter what they teach, how long they have been teaching, or in what environment!

Taking Care of Behaviour
|
|
Paul Dix has written a practical and accessible guide for teachers. Each chapter is broken down into a good mixture of common sense tips, exercises to help you reflect on and improve your own practice and a summary of the key ideas. I am finding it a useful toll in mentoring new staff. The accompanying CD-Rom is helpful in providing copies of exercises in the book, which members of staff can use to record and track their own development activities. Well done, Paul!

Take care of yourself; take care of behaviour
|
|
This book is everything you need to get to grips with behaviour management. Whether you use this on your own or as part of a 'learning group' it is like a breath of fresh air in the whole behaviour debate. If you want a demystified approach this is it!
