It is a book that will support people considering becoming a leader, who are new to leadership or who are established leaders. If you are undertaking a national professional qualification, then this book will serve as the ideal aide-memoire. Equally, if you just want a referral point that will serve as a touchstone for guidance and reassurance, then this is the book for you. The focus of this book is deliberately sharp and tight, with consideration predominantly given to the following seven areas: know who you are; understand what leadership means; know and respect your context; know, respect and support your people; positively drive behaviour; focus on the curriculum; and build your culture.

They Don’t Behave for Me: 50 classroom behaviour scenarios to support teachers
They Don't Behave for Me supports teachers with some key behavioural scenarios - ranging from classroom disruption and rudeness, to bullying, fights, and even a lack of overall behavioural strategy at a school level. Sam Strickland draws on his own experience to illustrate 50 common situations that he has had to resolve, seek support with, or offer advice on, and which most teachers will face at some point as they progress through their career into middle and senior leadership. Each scenario is broken down into an outline of the issue, a what to do in the immediate now, and a follow-up set of next steps. We should never condone poor behaviour - but how do we keep going and find the answers to resolve things when they go wrong? This book will guide you from some of the key challenges regularly faced by teachers towards your own approach to effective behavioural management.
