Starting over

Description

Behaviour management guru Sue Cowley works with primary school teachers on issues of pupil behaviour, stress and school rules. She believes that teaching is like a battlefield but that the enemy is not the kids, but anything that gets in the way of them learning. This is the starting point for this programme on how to handle the critical first fifteen minutes of any school day.Sue discusses how the skirmishes that break out in an unruly playground line up can disrupt the whole day. With the help of teacher Mark Heritage, there is a vivid dramatisation of how things can go wrong when over-exuberant behaviour in the playground spills over into the classroom. Mark is given some vital tips and tricks to help keep control in the most difficult of circumstances.
