Preparing to work in a tough school can be a nerve-wracking experience. Will there be gangs? What if none of the students do their homework? How will you know what to do if faced with a physical threat? In this book, the authors set out the 7 keys to successful behaviour management, through innovative approaches to teaching and learning.

Perfect for inspiring kids to get out in the fresh air, this brilliant book is crammed full of outdoor activities and fun for children.

The chapters in this volume illustrate how teachers are bringing creativity, higher-order thinking, and meaningful learning activities into particular school settings despite pressures of standards and testing. The word wise has been chosen for the title of the book, and is frequently used to describe the pedagogical practices that are identified.

Addresses a range of theoretical perspectives and contexts to stimulate students' and practitioners' critical thinking about issues of multi-agency working. This book explores issues like: the notion of "working together", what it means in practice; benefits and barriers of multi-agency work; requirements for interdisciplinary working; and more.

Using stories of successful practice and ideas for improving collaborative work, the book explores and maps the development of the roles in relation to children's learning that can be played by people other than qualified teachers.

Explores the ways in which teachers can fuel their pupils' curiosity and help them find their passions, develop independence and challenge themselves to become more expansive learners.
