This book describes a system of successful classroom behavior management techniques developed by the author over more than 25 years of teaching practice. It outlines the difficulties confronting teachers trying to manage students' misbehavior in schools and describes four types of student who can be helped to behave responsibly. The book explains in detail how students' behavior can be categorized and how techniques can be introduced to deal with each category, however challenging the behavior might be. It also provides a framework for a long term commitment by teachers to productive interactions with students.

First published in 1987. Teachers throughout the Western world identify motivating pupils and coping with classroom disruption as being among their main concerns. The close links between these two crucial aspects of classroom life are only now beginning to be fully understood. This book provides a selection of papers, nearly all of which have been specially commissioned for this volume, on these two closely related topics. Whilst many factors, both inside and outside of the school, contribute to pupils' behaviour and motivation in the classroom, the articles included in this collection are concerned exclusively with in-school factors over which classroom teachers and schools have potentially the greatest influence. In this way the volume presents, in a form accessible to teachers on initial or in-service training courses, some of the most useful and interesting recent developments in educational psychology for today's classroom.
