The behaviour of students is a common concern and challenge for those working in schools. In addition there is continued government emphasis on behaviour as an important educational issue. This new and fully revised edition of Understanding and Supporting Behaviour through Emotional Intelligence is suitable for all trainees and teachers. It takes a fresh approach to the issues around behaviour with an emphasis on building learners’ resilience and developing emotional intelligence.

has been updated with the latest legislation, including Ofsted and SEND guidelines
includes new research on the brain and social competence development
addresses the continuing decline in social and emotional intelligence of learners
emphasises strategies to build resilience
includes a new section on the stages of adolescence

Index

he book is useful as it is written in quite a readable style and presents cases for consideration, so it isn't completely theory based. Also it asks my students to consider something they may not have thought about previously as they have largely been successful within the education system to be on the course.
