A fantastically upbeat, invaluable guide to managing the really difficult kids in class. This is not a book about general classroom behaviour management. It focuses specifically on dealing with the high-end of challenging behaviour; and explores ways of working with the kind of student that exhibits this behaviour: the kind of student that is often preceded by their reputation, known for their ability to destroy well-planned lessons in a matter of seconds. This realistic and authoritative guide provides teachers with a range of practical strategies for managing the really tough students in their class. Engaging and uplifting, it should become obligatory reading for frazzled teachers everywhere.
