| Summary |
The problem of discipline dominates our schools and our homes. Teacher stress and burnout are on the rise. All this, says Maurice Balson, is because writers and theorists don't really understand why students misbehave. Here is a book empower teachers. It's built on the author's belief that all problems reflect poor relationships - and must be resolved in a social context. Teachers must learn to relate better. He says the best way to start is by improving the knowledge and skills of teachers. Maurice Balson's very successful Understanding Classroom Behaviour now appears in a much expanded third edition. Revised throughout to reflect policy changes - and the feedback the author gets from very many teachers, students and parents. There are two vital new chapters too: Teacher Stress, and Conflict Resolution |
