Primary & middle schools; Teaching of students with emotional & behavioural difficulties

Developed in conjunction with practitioners and teachers, The Primary Behaviour Cookbook provides highly effective, practical strategies for responding to and resolving behavioural issues in primary classrooms.

Consisting of over forty ‘recipes’, the book’s unique format enables practitioners to quickly and easily access information and advice on dealing with specific behaviours. Each ‘recipe’ details strategies and interventions for immediate application in the classroom setting, considers possible causes of the given behaviour and offers helpful approaches for responding to the child’s needs in the longer term. From disengagement to impulsivity, attention-seeking, defiance, bullying, anxiety and aggression, the book’s five sections cover a broad spectrum of behaviours falling within five broader categories:

Getting things done: supporting positive student engagement and achievement

Dealing with disruption: increasing motivation and skills to facilitate learning

Social interactions: resolving problematic situations that occur between pupils.

Emotional distress: understanding distress and developing coping strategies

Behaviours of special concern: recognising behaviours associated with autism, trauma, or abuse.

Underpinned by positive psychology, and emphasizing the importance of constructive relationships, communication, inclusion and child wellbeing, this is an indispensable resource for primary school teachers and assistants, behaviour support consultants, SENDCOs and educational psychologists.

Reviews for The Primary Behaviour Cookbook: Strategies at your Fingertips

This is an immediately accessible book for busy primary school teachers, covering a wide range of behaviour and welfare issues that teachers face daily. The advice and strategies, are realistically enabling and are based in sound psychology as well as teachers' real experiences. This is a book that enables solution-based approaches to behaviour concerns and challenges, at every level in a school. I commend this book to our busy colleagues in our profession to support respectful, humane and positive behaviour in schools. Dr Bill Rogers, Fellow: Australian College of Education; Honorary Life Fellow: Trinity Leeds University and Honorary Fellow at the Graduate School of Education, Melbourne University. Wow! This must-read book gives practical solutions for common behaviour challenges that are faced by teachers. It is the ideal resource that teachers are looking for! Full of very workable ideas to support teachers, as they nurture good relationships and ensure a climate for learning that unleashes each pupil's potential. Dr Neil Hawkes, founder of Values-based Education (VbE) and former primary school headteacher, UK Dr Roffey brings all of her considerable experience to these practical and powerful toolkits for classroom teachers. Her practical experience as a classroom teacher of students with special education needs, and subsequent work as an education psychologist and socio-emotional learning program developer and trainer enables her to produce resources that speak directly to the challenges faced by classroom teachers.
