Whether you are an experienced teacher or someone with little practical teaching experience, there are strategies in this book for you; from those that will help to resolve serious issues such as bullying and conflict in the classroom, to those that show that even the smallest changes; reducing tension in the classroom, employing the right kind of body language and using creative language to engage your students; can have a huge impact and dramatically improve behaviour.
This book has been fully revised and updated for the secondary market and has a brand new layout making the book even easier to dip in and out of and the ideas even easier to use and implement quickly.

"This is an excellent book. While showing the reader how to teach and how to engage with children (including those who "don't want" to behave or learn) Johnnie Young shows us a host of ideas and techniques. It is written in an extremely accessible style so you can pick up good ideas from a five-minute dip or you can read it for longer to expand your classroom skills. Teachers will return to this book again and again."
