This is the kind of book we would recommend for some learners on a PTLLS course or we might use it for as supplementary material for internal staff development courses.

An easy to read text which is ideal for beginner teachers who need to know about behaviour management. There are lots of practical tasks and realistic case studies. The reference list is comprehensive and the staff development activities really useful. Like the key points and bullet lists. Will add to reading list as essential.
