A useful guide to classroom discipline for teachers which could also be helpful for those working with children in other contexts. Plenty of practical tips and tricks to be used in everyday situations.

This is a new edition of Sue Cowley's popular insight into classroom behaviour. It has been renamed and a few new details added. A useful guide for teachers to help with classroom management. For more experienced teachers this will confirm a lot of current practices but it is always useful to share experiences.

Sue Cowly has rewritten and edited her class teachers’ guide, Getting Your Class To Behave. It’s practical and engaging to read for the current teaching cohort. Bear in mind this is for classroom teachers in long-term roles and probably won’t be as effective for daily supply teachers or trainee students. I did find Cowley’s experience is limited to her own lived experience so there might some aspects that’s aren’t as relatable but that is inevitable.

I remember reading this as an NQT.
I can safely say that nearly 10 years later, this book still holds up and still feels super relevant!
I have been lucky to never really struggle with my behaviour management - but maybe it's because I subconsciously remembered what I had read as an NQT.
I really enjoyed reading this all these years later - always good for a refresher! Love how Cowley writes. Such a conversational, non-patronising way - and the all important humour!

Definitely think there are a lot of teachers that really NEED this book!!

A great book for those who work in an educational setting, with lots of ideas of how you can put into practice techniques to reduce our even stop behavioural problems within a classroom environment. It makes you stop and think about the way you speak to children and how to reduce the chance of an argument. A great read for all.

Once again, Sue Cowley has come up with a number of methods to support different types of classes and different schools, as well as a multitude of different teachers, with behaviour strategies. As a reasonably new teacher it was useful because some of these reminded me of things I had done in university, whilst others were something completely new to think about.

If you work in a school setting, no matter what role you do working with children then you need to read this book. I have learned so many new techniques that I’ll be taking back into class with me! Thank you!
