Description
An in-depth study of this book would have a strong impact in the field of educational management. The author has done an excellent job of identifying, interpreting, substantiating and modelling various principles, concepts and practices of behaviour management – Journal of Educational Planning and Administration. As more schools focus their attention on developing whole-school strategies for dealing with student behaviour, the need for a book to support teachers as they strive to develop a behaviour management policy is evident. Bill Rogers, who has many years of international experience of working on behaviour management, offers practical suggestions. He describes: positive discipline and the importance of consistency; particular skills in the language of discipline – verbal and non-verbal; techniques for managing bullying, aggression, rudeness and violence; methods to use with behaviourally disordered students; the 4Rs – rights, rules, responsibilities and routines; behavioural consequences including time-out; behaviour agreements – contracts; playground management; and how to set up a behaviour management plan and express it in a policy.
