This book explores the ways in which pupils with social, emotional
and behavioural difficulties can be effectively engaged in
schooling - either in school or at home. It explains the social and
emotional underpinnings of learning and presents practical
strategies for aiding engagement. Nurture groups, originally
devised and implemented in the 1970s, are specially designed
classes that cater for pupils having difficulties in adjusting to
the requirements of mainstream classrooms. Paul Cooper and Yonca
Tiknaz present evidence of the success of nurture groups from the
perspectives of the children participating in them, their parents
and school staff members who manage nurture groups in schools, and
examine what factors affect the success of the group. From this
they draw key messages for effective practice, including the
fundamental importance of recognising a child's emotional needs and
meeting them, and the pivotal role of the relationship between the
teaching staff co-ordinating the group. Nurture Groups in School
and at Home will provide essential information and accessible
advice for teaching professionals running nurture groups in schools
and for parents and carers running them at home.
