Managing Behaviour in Further and Adult Education

Third Edition


December 2013 | 132 pages | Learning Matters
This practical guide to managing behaviour in Further and Adult Education is for all those training to teach in the sector. The third edition includes new chapters on 14-19 learners and behaviour theory and continues to offer practical ideas on how to manage and motivate students. It takes account of the variety of contexts in the sector and makes reference to important research findings and studies of learner behaviour. Based firmly on what teachers and students have to say about their experiences, it uses case studies, dialogue and journal extracts to explore key issues, and help teachers develop their practice.

Behaviour Theory

I have used this text in delivering behaviour management training for staff across the organisation. I have also used it within teacher training, specifically for the behaviour managment unit on the DTLLS programme. It offers a theoretical grounding which helps staff and students understand some of the common, and less common factors for poor behaviour; the text also provides updated strategies for dealing with behaviours to manage the learning environment effectively.
The text is recommended to our students and library.
Thank you.

Chapter 10, Shackleton vs. Bligh provided an excellent opportunity to link leadership styles and motivation strategies to the classroom.

A very readable text and it relates heavily to the DTLLS programme and we will be recommending it as a reader to support the unit.

An excellent practical text book to support new teachers in a the area of behaviour management. This book supports with the module and assignment writing on the DTLLS programme , but more importantly offers practical ideas and advice on strategies to manage behaviour in own teaching - an area of increasing concern within the FE environment. Good to have a book which focusses on this topic for FE rather than schools

Another LM book that is very useful to trainee teachers on the PGCE. I use it as a resource within the class. It is clear and very readable. It has a practical base and provides stimulus for reflection as well as some practical solutions/ideas. Great Book.
