Summary:
The Behaviour Management Toolkit is an important new resource that supports SENCOs, Special Needs classroom assistants and any other teachers that interact with students who have specific emotional and behavioural needs.



This resource provides an uncomplicated and effective approach to dealing with challenging behaviour problems, and is made up of units based on five key areas of concern within schools: Anger Management, Mood Management, Conflict Resolution, Peer Relationships and most importantly, Changing Classroom Behaviour. Each unit includes an introduction to the topic and worksheets with accompanying teacher guidance. Teachers can pick out individual worksheets to use when appropriate, or work through each unit as a complete programme. The units also include a 'Newsflash' letter to notify parents that their child is undertaking the course, and a certificate for the student on completion of the course.



Whilst soundly based on up-to-date psychological theory, the toolkit is primarily solution-focused, and will give teachers both the understanding and the practical means to help pupils solve their behavioural and emotional problems. Written for experienced SENCOs, teachers and support staff, this resource is accessible to a wide range of staff with differing levels of expertise.

• The essential toolkit for use with your students with emotional or behavioural needs. It provides practical advice for teachers and essential worksheets.
• Written by an experienced Head of Special Needs and a Lecturer in Physiology and Psychology, so you know that their techniques will work!
• Links in directly with the government's policy of inclusion.
• Practical and easy to use, the toolkit can be used by experienced teachers and teaching assistants.
• The toolkit has been extensively trialled in schools.
