Why are you shouting at us?: The Dos and Don'ts of Behaviour Management

by Phil Beadle, John Murphy, Lisa Marie Hall (Illustrator)

In their witty and very practical book, Phil Beadle and John Murphy guide teachers through the dos and don'ts of behaviour management based on their decades of experience teaching in the most challenging schools. They highlight the importance of managing your own behaviour, as well as really understanding that of your students, and provide practical strategies for embedding positive behaviour management techniques into teaching practice. Self-assessment questionnaires throughout the book prompt the reader to pause and reflect, while the authors offer encouragement and support, using humorous and often candidly honest anecdotes based on their own teaching experience. Why are you shouting at us? is essential reading for anyone preparing to work in a challenging school as well as for any teacher who wants to improve their behaviour management skills.

I enjoyed the wit and honesty of this book - having been lucky enough to watch Phil Beadle as a guest speaker, I really like his way of talking and his frankness when considering the challenges you face as a teacher dealing with behaviour management.

Refreshing and with some great ideas!

I will in fact attempt to use every piece of Brit wit and humour from this book

I liked the book overall. The perspective on some of the strategies changes if you aren't from the UK.

A short read that prompted me to think a lot about my body language as opposed to the things I say.
Valuable, but questionable in some areas.
