Includes CD-Rom `Joan Mowat adapts ideas about understanding,
transfer of learning, and theories of mind to help restless
students deal better with their responsibilities toward others and
themselves' - Professor David Perkins, Graduate School of
Education, Harvard University 'Mowat provides a valuable and
comprehensive guide to the setting up, running and management of
Support Groups as a whole-school initiative...This book would make
an invaluable hand-book for anybody in a pastoral leadership role,
who is interested in the organisation and setting up of support
groups within a social setting' - TES Website Based on material
that has been successfully tried and tested, this book provides an
example of a whole school approach to setting up and managing
support groups to improve the behaviour of pupils with social,
emotional and behavioural difficulties. Suitable for both primary
and secondary schools, the strategies in the book align with the
aims of the new Primary National Strategy and Key Stage 3 Strategy
on behaviour and attendance, as well as the SEAL (Social and
Emotional Aspects of Learning) curriculum, the Scottish 'Curriculum
for Excellence' and 'Happy, safe and achieving their potential'
(the standard of support for children and young people in Scottish
schools). The book explains the aims of the support group approach,
and gives practical advice on: - planning for and setting up a
support group - involving parents in the process - assessing
pupils' progress - the role of the Support Group Leader -
evaluating the implementations of the approach - how this approach
supports new initiatives in behaviour & attendance. An
accompanying CD contains everything necessary for implementing the
approach outlined in the book, along with resources to support
staff development. Teachers, Staff Development Co-ordinators, LEA
Behaviour Support Teams, Teacher Educators, Student Teachers,
Support for Learning and Pastoral Care Teachers will find this an
excellent and useful resource. Joan Mowat is Lecturer in Education
at the University of Strathclyde. She was previously a Deputy
Headteacher in a secondary school, working with pupils with social,
emotional and behavioural difficulties, and a former National
Development Officer for the Scottish initiative 'Better Behaviour -
Better Learning'. Joan offers CPD courses and consultancy to local
authorities and schools and can be contacted at
