Publisher's Synopsis
The recommendations of the Elton Report focused particularly on the need for teachers to be given practical training on managing groups of pupils (especially those who challenge teacher authority) and the need for schools to create a positive atmosphere which encourages responsible behaviour. This volume originates from a symposium of papers presented to the British Psychological Society on behavioural approaches to disruptive behaviour in children and selects applications of behavioural theory. The focus is on practical ideas and strategies that can be used directly in or out of the classroom, with all ages of individual children and with groups.
