"

In this new edition of a bestselling book, Bill Rogers brings together contributions from practising teachers that suggest ways to tackle very challenging behaviour in schools such as bullying, violence and behaviour disorders. All teachers face similar disruptions in the classroom, such as calling out and interrupting, but this book addresses the more serious issues.

Bill introduces and comments on each chapter, setting out his key principles for behaviour leadership in the style that makes him such a popular author.

There are numerous case studies drawn from practice, in each case showing how the teacher managed the situation and what the outcome was, and these examples from practice highlight the difference teachers can make to their students' behaviour, attitude, self-esteem and peer acceptance. Chapters look at: finding a way back from inappropriate behaviour; dealing with challenging behaviour day after day; creating a peaceful school; focusing on the positives; the importance of the teacher-pupil relationship; taking an holistic view of the child, and how this helps reduce disruptive behaviour.

New material in this book includes:

- new case studies;

- analysis of actions taken and skills used when managing poor behaviour;

- a new section on working with parents;

- Questions for Reflection, to encourage discussion with colleagues.

The direct, practical and inspirational nature of these accounts will resonate with all teachers and school support staff working with any age group. Based on the everyday experiences of the teachers who have written them, these are teachers' voices offering sound advice and guidance to fellow professionals.

Bill Rogers is an Education Consultant and author who lecturers widely on behaviour management, discipline, effective teaching, stress management and teacher welfare across the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Praise for the First Edition

In Cracking the Hard Class, the undisputed master of behaviour management, Bill Rogers, shows us that being an effective teacher isn't a result of God-given gifts of charisma and presence, but can be developed through a series of specific skills and learns actions. It's one of the mot useful books around for new teachers If you can catch him live on one of his UK roadshows, you're in for a real treat. This practical approach from a writer who has clearly retained at least a notional foot in the classroom is the one that works best for me' - "Geoff Barton, The Times Education Supplement

"

This book would certainly be invaluable to colleagues in the school where some had done the course and others had learnt it second hand. It would have a place in the staffroom of most schools, especially in the secondary sector. Bill Rogers is clearly a charismatic teacher what he offers is based on secure knowledge of child psychology, classroom dynamics and staffroom politics' -" Emotional & Behavioural Difficulties

"

This is an excellent book for teachers at any key stage who have one or more "difficult" pupils in their class, as well as those with the "hard class." It provides simple and effective behaviour management strategies and makes you realise you are not alone and that it's okay to have a bad day. It mainly discusses secondary education but does refer to primary. Many of the strategies are suitable for all levels anyway. An absolute must-have for a teacher' -" Amazon Review

"

At some point in every teacher's career he/she will encounter the hard class' and from day one the countdown to the end of the day, term and year is on in earnest. But as demanding as it may be, a difficult class does not have to dominate and permeate through all waking moments. Bill Rogers, in Cracking the Hard Class, Second Edition, highlights many practical strategies that can be implemented to overcome the hard class syndrome.

These include: identifying what makes a class hard'; developing a class behaviour plan; developing colleague support; following up on disruptive students; changing patterns of bad behaviour; and assisting relief teachers and the hard class.

As well as constructive ideas and strategies, Cracking the Hard Class, Second Edition also highlights the normality of the pressures and stress felt by teachers dealing with these classes."

In this book, Bill Rogers draws from his experience as a teacher, researcher and educational consultant to emphasise that colleague support can, and does, make a difference to individual teachers and to whole school cultures. He highlights the personal and relational aspects of colleague support, including moral support, structural support and professional support. In particular, he calls upon the voices of teachers and case studies to illustrate the moral, structural and professional dimensions of colleague support. Bill Rogers argues that colleague support can affect wellbeing, professional esteem and professional coping. He asks the questions: 'What makes colleague support effective and why?' 'Who initiates support and how?' 'How does such support affect personal coping and the ability to manage the day to day grind of teaching?' 'How does colleague support affect longer term issues such as professional feedback, appraisal of teaching, curriculum planning, lesson planning, as well as ongoing concerns such as classroom discipline and behaviour management?' 'How does colleague support affect the impact and management of change?' BILL ROGERS IN THE UK!
