Challenging behaviour amongst pupils is as much of a headache for teaching assistants as it is for teachers.

A vulnerable area in teaching assistant's practice, this new book is one of a kind looking at common behaviour problems in the classroom, explaining typical causes of misbehaviour and showing what teaching assistants can do to tackle and tame disruptive children in their care.

Using a range of case studies discussed from an exclusively teaching assistant perspective, Susan Bentham explores:

- the role of the teaching assistant in relation to school behaviour policies - when and how to reward good behaviour - why we should understand the reason for bad behaviour, in order to determine the most appropriate way of dealing with it - how to implement the behaviour strategies that really work.

Mirroring the course content of most teaching assistant GNVQ and Foundation degree qualifications, Bentham adopts a reflective approach to behaviour management. She highlights how practitioners can learn from their experiences and develop new skills and coping strategies, which will free them up to concentrate on the most important part of the job: supporting learning. In an expanding market, this guide is a must-buy for any teaching assistant for whom bad behaviour is becoming their biggest challenge.
