This book offers practical advice to teachers, support assistants, governors and parents about children whose behaviours cause concern. It deals not only with 'acting out' behaviours where pupils behave in challenging and disruptive ways, but also with 'acting in' behaviours where pupils show signs of emotional disorders. Chapters cover many issues including: emotional and behavioural difficulties in the school context; management strategies at Stages 1, 2 and 3; sanctions and exclusion; statutory assessment; and whole school approaches. Photocopiable resources, questionnaires and aide-memoiré sheets are also included which will be of practical help to the teacher.
