ASBO Teacher ebook

Foreword by David Didau. Samuel Elliott has been the pupil from hell. He knows what he needed from his teachers in order to turn his life around - and in this book he shares that knowledge with hard-pressed colleagues who just want to do their best for their pupils. In ASBO Teacher Samuel offers no-nonsense principles hewn from the chalkface of the modern British classroom: ideas and approaches that have worked for the author in the most challenging settings and with the most testing pupils. Covering a range of issues spanning behaviour management, lesson structure, resource preparation and narratives in the classroom, the book is a blueprint for becoming a particular kind of teacher - one who has high expectations, a concern for pupil well-being, and a knack for ushering learners into more effective learning. (Note: ASBO stands for 'antisocial behaviour order', a legal order in the UK issued to restrict an individual aged ten or above from harassing or causing alarm or distress to other people.)
