Better Behaviour by Jarlath Obrien

Better Behaviour by Jarlath Obrien

This second edition of Jarlath OBriens insightful, practical guide for teachers, and those training to teach, combines psychological research, authentic classroom experience and the lessons learned from improving behaviour in schools.

The strength of this second edition lies in the even wider lens through which behaviour is explored - no element of school life is left undiscussedJarlath continually forces you to reflect and consider your actions, the actions of students and the wider actions of the school community. This is a much-needed update to the literature on behaviour and a book that will be invaluable to all, regardless of experience or role.

-- Kate Stockings

Jarlath’s expert knowledge and depth of experience has produced a book that will support every teacher to become "the decisive element in the classroom".  His deeply held belief in the value of every child and young person shines through as he coherently argues for the holistic development of all: socially, emotionally and behaviourally in support of the academic.  Complete with summaries, reflection points, scenarios and further reading this is more than a book.  It is an in-depth manual for teachers and senior leaders who want to get behaviour right, in schools, and believe we are there to catch our pupils, "not catch them out".

-- Stephen Tierney
