The New Teacher’s Survival Guide to Behaviour

Standing in front of a class of students is challenging enough, but what if they just won’t behave? This book will tell you how to start off on the right foot as a new teacher, and how to look after yourself as well as your classes. Chapters will help you to build up your confidence and awareness, develop positive relationships with your students, create supportive bonds with colleagues, and manage disruptive, distressed and defiant students calmly.
