Rezensionen

The strength of this second edition lies in the even wider lens through which behaviour is explored - no element of school life is left undiscussed. Jarlath continually forces you to reflect and consider your actions, the actions of students and the wider actions of the school community. This is a much-needed update to the literature on behaviour and a book that will be invaluable to all, regardless of experience or role.
