The success of Sue Cowley's Getting the Buggers to Behave, a guide
to managing behavior in the classroom, produced a number of
interesting consequences. In her travels to promote the book,
Cowley met a number of teachers who bought her book, not to use at
school but to use at home as an aid to handling their own children.
In speaking engagements and interviews, she kept hearing that "your
ideas would work for parents too." There was a general sense that a
teacher hardened by teaching 30+ kids at a time must know a thing
or two--and parents wanted access to the professional insider's
knowledge. Applying the same principles that Cowley developed as a
professional educator, Getting Your Darlings to Behave is the guide
to child behavior that Cowley's fans have eagerly awaited.

particularly helpful to staff at primary level who have found
themselves lumbered with "putting on the school play"!

organizational aspects of teaching thinking in a classroom setting.
The advice that I give will be applicable to teachers' right across
the primary and secondary spectrum, and for those who are working
in all different areas of the curriculum.' - Sue Cowley. The new
edition of the best-selling book contains a brand new chapter which

Think.
