A Holistic Approach to Classroom Behaviour Management
Claire English is an experienced Australian secondary school teacher and senior leader specialising in supporting students with complex social, emotional and mental health needs. Over her career, she has worked across the United Kingdom and Australia and she is the founder of The Untouchables Academy, where teachers are able to access relevant and actionable support through her online training, community and podcast.
The book is organised around the concept of seven pillars:
Be Curious: Behaviour talks, you just need to know how to listen
Be Calm: Be what you want to see
Be Compassionate: Happy students are rarely disengaged and destructive students
Be Consistent: Minimise the unknown
Be Clear: If you expect it, you must explain it
Be Challenging: If you set the bar low, that is exactly where they will go
Be Connected: The small things are the big things
This is an interesting and informative book with clear guidelines, strategies and practical applications. Each chapter concludes with a brief summary, links to relevant Unteachables podcasts and further reading. Highly recommended
