I didn't read this cover to cover so I'm unsure as to whether I'll leave this on here. Instead I dipped in and out to sections that I felt I needed extra support with.

There are some great practical hints and tricks in this book and I'm looking forward to trying some of them out in my own classroom in the future (if we ever get back there). I'm sure I'll also be revisiting this book again in the future to find more nuggets of wisdom i can use in an attempt to manage my classroom more effectively and efficiently.

Interesting read.
Strange title.

Really helpful for beginning (and possibly established teachers) to get a foundation for behaviour management. Examples aren't always fantastic but give you a feel for how the techniques can be applied. It's not a fix all, but it gives you an understanding of what is needed to effectively control a class.

Reading in 2022, this edition is just very outdated now.

A teacher training textbook, which is basically full of sensible advice about managing children of differing levels of ability in the classroom. Useful background information, some of which is directly applicable to other areas of professional life too.

This is for my uni course (as predicted my reading has hit a wall when it comes to fiction at the moment). I enjoyed it and it is a great reference book for classroom behaviour. I can't want to read more on the subject but this was a great sum up.
