In It’s Never Just About the Behavior: A holistic approach to classroom behavior management, educator Claire English answers this very question. Behavior isn’t ever just about the behavior itself and effective behavior management isn’t about simply responding to a behavior. It is about thinking through:
the ′why′ behind the behavior,
the ′what′ is going on in the body and the brain, and
the ′how′ you can proactively craft your pedagogy and practice to support the wellbeing, development and educational experience of all students.
This book explores behavior and classroom management through a holistic and best practice approach. It is driven by engaging and relatable narratives, grounded in research and delivers essential, actionable, and highly relevant professional learning on behavior management. Claire empowers you to take the action you can take when you walk into your classroom. To feel supported, confident and equipped to turn your own space into an island of safety and support for each one of your students. To know that, when challenging behaviors inevitably pop up, you’ll be able to respond to them effectively and calmly. Allowing you to do the job that you got into the profession to do, and do it damn well. To teach.
