Publisher's Summary

In this abridged audiobook version of his best-selling title, Paul Dix talks you through the book’s hugely influential behavior management approach - an approach whereby expectations and boundaries are exemplified by people, not by a thousand rules that nobody can recall. The testing, watch out for and nuggets sections have been removed for this audiobook, but the indispensable advice on how to involve all staff in developing a whole school ethos built on kindness, empathy, and understanding remains. Suitable for teachers and school leaders - in any setting - who are looking to upgrade their approach to school behavior.

Contents include:

  1. Visible consistency, visible kindness
  2. The counterintuitive classroom
  3. Deliberate botheredness
  4. Certainty in adult behaviour
  5. Keystone classroom routines
  6. Universal microscripts: flipping the script
  7. Punishment addiction, humiliation hangover
  8. Restore, redraw, repair
  9. Some children follow rules, some follow people
  10. Your behaviour policy sucks!
  11. The 30 day magic

Amazing

I have analysed my own and others teaching practices for my whole career and have never been able to eloquently describe why one teacher has consistently touched the hearts of their students and enjoy the experience as a whole (good and bad), while others are just merely there to blame the system, the students and the parents. Most teachers almost always fall in to one of these two categories. This book will guide us all in to better teaching and behaviour practices. LOVE IT!

Best educational book

Best educational book I’ve ever read/listened to. I reckon this could help convince ever the most old school teachers into realising why restorative is the way!
