Teaching the Unteachable: Practical Ideas to Give Teachers Hope and Help When Behaviour Management Strategies Fail

Author(s) : Marie Delaney

Reviews and Endorsements

There are several good books on effective behaviour management. There are also books about therapeutic work with children who are having emotional and behavioural problems at school. Based on the author's experience as a teacher, trainer and Educational Therapist, this book combines both types of thinking. The book looks at the issue from two perspectives:

The teacher (primary and secondary)
1. what these children do to us
2. the way our emotions affect the management of relationships
3. conscious and unconscious processes which affect readiness for teaching and learning
4. developing skills and classroom strategies
5. finding and using support

The child
1. Why some students are just more difficult to teach
2. The effects of loss, separation, neglect and trauma on learning
3. Ways for a teacher to reach and teach these children

The book includes practical, accessible examples based on the writer's experience. Real-life examples include failures as well as successes, showing what can happen in the everyday classroom.

The first section includes an extensive list of effective behaviour management strategies.

The second section then offers an easily accessible framework for understanding the behaviour of those children for whom basic strategies do not always work. From this enhanced understanding, another list of principles and good practice is offered in the final section.
