This informative and humorous A to Z contains a huge array of entries dealing with every aspect of managing behaviour, from minor classroom incidents to full scale riots. Each letter contains one detailed entry and several shorter ones, ranging from assertiveness to boredom, to self-esteem and warnings. Realistic and helpful, Louisa Leaman's advice will prove invaluable to despairing teachers everywhere.
