What kind of teacher are you? What values, beliefs and principles do successful teachers possess and how do they sustain these in the face of challenging pupil behaviour? In this timely book, Stephen Baker contends that rigid punishment systems weaponize young people's defiance against them and that punishment doesn't work. He believes that teachers need to take responsibility for behaviour and to teach it, that we need to love the kids (even if we don't like them), that children are people, thatweare an event intheirlives, and that teaching is a relationship-based activity. That Behaviour Bookis an essential guide for both the beginner and the more experienced teacher, and its unique tone makes it an indispensable companion. Steve Baker's anecdotes, drawn from his years as a pupil, teacher and trainer pack an emotional punch and are often hilarious.

Stephen Baker spent 17 tears in teaching, before working with local authorities and for the National Strategies as a regional adviser in Yorkshire and the Humber. He is now a behaviour consultant and trainer, passionate about helping teachers to succeed. Stephen lives with Sian in Anglesey where he spends his free time having fun with their children and grandchildren.
