Teachers, Pupils and Behaviour: A Managerial Approach (Cassell Studies in Pastoral Care and PSE) - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Teachers tend to be suspicious of suggestions that schools can learn from commerce and industry, yet the model of creative problem solving which characterizes good management has much to offer. John McGuiness shows how careful analysis of the interpersonal context of incidents can lead to a fuller understanding of the origins of social conflict in the classroom and, consequently, a more effective response.
Starting from and developing the views of the Elton Report on school discipline, McGuiness argues for a rational approach to the problem of pupil behaviour. He examines the important distinction between discipline to control and discipline to educate, and shows how teachers can pursue the latter approach in their classrooms.
This is a new book from a highly respected author in this field. Each chapter makes generous use of examples from the authors extensive experience in educational guidance and counselling, and several provide a range of practical activities for both initial and inservice professional development.
