Engage with challenging behaviour in your school and support staff effectively, so that all* your pupils can learn

“Miss, I don’t give a sh*t” Engaging with Challenging Behaviour in Schools
– Adele’s much-anticipated first book, due out with Sage & Corwin Publishers Autumn 2021.
“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)

I’ve had juice poured on my head, been whacked by a skateboard – and have taught a year 7 pupil who has experienced severe trauma, how to read their first ever word…
