Why don't tried-and-tested behaviour management strategies work with the most challenging pupils in our schools? Because they are based on assumptions that simply don't hold true for those children and adolescents whose early experience has fundamentally undermined their ability to trust adults. Marie Delaney, teacher and educational therapist, presents a fresh and practical approach to reach these pupils. She explores the factors behind those ' bad days' for teachers and looks at what can be done when nothing seems to work. Marie Delaney provides a summary of effective behaviour management strategies, drawn from her own extensive experience of success (and failure) in working with pupils of all ages, and staff. She then offers an easily accessible framework for understanding the behaviour of those children for whom basic strategies don'y always work. The author provides a further set of principles and good practice, showing how to use this enhanced understanding to reach those students who are just more difficult to teach.

Teaching the Unteachable

Worth Publishing

All teachers know that there can always be a challenging pupil in any class. This book starts from what is directly observable in class. The disruptive pupil who: continually calls out, rubbishes their own work, bullies and abuses teacher and other pupils, doesn't care and won't engage, can't sit still, provokes and distracts others, can't follow instructions. Marie Delaney goes straight to the heart of the meaning of these issues. She describes how teachers can recognize what 'behavior is communicating' really means. She shows teachers, step by step, what can be said and done using real case examples. The clarity and new insight presented by the best selling author of "Teaching the Unteachable" will inspire teachers everywhere to find new ways of overcoming classroom disruption. Throughout the worked examples in the book, reference will be made to the role of parents and how they should be involved and approached and what to say to them.

What Can I Do About This Kid Who..?: A Quick Guide for Teachers to Deal with Disruptive Pupils

Reference

Every trainee teacher and NQT needs to know about the importance of attachment in schools. So many children and young people arrive in class every day who are unable to settle to learn. Many are coming from previous or current home environments which have not provided them with the necessary consistent security and reliable warmth for them to be relaxed, confident and trusting. Some have experienced trauma, loss, neglect and abuse. They communicate their distress through their challenging behaviour in school. What is needed first and foremost for such pupils of all ages is an authentic relationship of attachment with school staff who can get to know them, genuinely empathise and enable them to settle securely and begin to feel safe. Then, and only then, can the task of learning begin. This handbook first explains succinctly why an understanding of attachment theory is vital for all teachers. It then provides practical examples of how a teacher can recognise what the pupil's behaviour is communicating and how the teacher can then effectively intervene to enable the pupil to settle to learn and the teacher achieve freedom to teach.
