“Miss, I don’t give a sh*t” Engaging with Challenging Behaviour in Schools
– Adele’s much-anticipated first book, with Sage & Corwin Publishers, is available now.
“This book offers an in-depth, detailed and nuanced overview of the subject of behaviour, with a particular focus on building relationships, helping pupils to feel safe and on teacher self-care. It is a must read book for all teachers.“
You want to make a positive difference to all of your pupils’ lives and help lift their aspirations, so that even the ones with challenging behaviour can find enjoyment at school – and make academic progress…
…and it would also be great to get a lunchbreak once in a while…
I empower school leaders and teachers like you to support pupils with behavioural needs and SEMH to thrive with their education.
(So you can concentrate on teaching and get your weekends back)

Adele Bates, Behaviour & Education Specialist, International Keynote Speaker and Author
My vision for education is one in which all differences are included and welcomed; an education which is flexible, relevant and leads towards positive social change.
I’m Adele, an International Behaviour and Education Specialist, Keynote Speaker and author of “Miss, I Don’t Give A Sh*t,” Engaging with Challenging Behaviour in Schools,
In 2019, I was awarded a full grant to carry out an educational research trip in Finland to observe, teach, interview and learn about the Finnish Education System’s inclusive approach to education.
In 2022, I was invited to the Dominican Republic to work with The Hive School to research Self-Directed Learning practices, support the principal with inclusion approaches and lead Behaviour training in a month-long project with the staff. Following this, I travelled to Costa Rica, where I visited and researched approaches to Education in Costa Rican schools.
I deliver training and keynotes for educational events, schools and organisations across Europe, the National Education Union and Amnesty International. I have featured on BBC Radio 4 as an expert in my field. I am the Educational Associate for Trauma Inform and an Associate on Behaviour with Independent Thinking.
My business is in it’s 7th year and regularly donates to educational and child-centred charities.
“Adele has an expert knowledge, her inclusive and aspirational practice has supported pupils with SEMH needs to make good progress because they are motivated and secure in their learning”

“When starting a new Headship, I knew that the Behaviour Policy wasn’t fit for purpose. Reading Adele’s book and then joining her course opened me up to a world of behaviour management and strategies that I barely knew existed. It radically shifted my perspective on how to view and deal with challenging behaviour, this in turn had a profound impact when creating the school’s new behaviour policy which is now successfully being rolled out. I genuinely couldn’t have begun to do this without Adele’s incredible book.
