"I came away from this course brimming with ideas and they've nearly all proved their worth back in school... Overall, this was one of the best courses I have been on. The atmosphere was relaxed and productive, the venue was excellent and we had lunch in a restaurant instead of eating the usual soggy sandwich. Above all, the strategies we learnt have genuinely made a difference in the classroom."

'Course of the Week' Column, TES Magazine, March 2008..

"I've done fourteen years in the TA infantry, fifteen years on building sites and now I teach kids from deprived areas of Derbyshire how to become bricklayers. I thought I had it sussed using military training techniques and common sense - remain cool, be fair, firm and friendly, see things on the learners' level. I didn't realise there was so much more that could be done, and for so little cost in effort. Great seminar!"

Derek Stanton, Lecturer, South East Derbyshire College.

“Thank you so much for such a great informative day. I have already implemented some of the strategies of good classroom management into my lessons and they have proven to be very effective. I have passed your name onto so many people, saying just how amazing your approach to managing behaviour is."

Irfaan Jason Rafiq, First Steps Course, 2007

"This book is rooted in real experience, not theory. You can smell the classroom between its covers. It will be a powerful aid to teachers at whatever stage of their career. Every school should have a copy in their staff library and every leader responsible for professional development will want one at their elbow."

Professor Tim Brighouse
Chief Advisor for London Schools, Jan 2007

"Helpful advice on involving parents and managing extreme behaviour...Sensible, consistently practical and reassuring"

Times Educational Supplement Review, May 2007

"This book is comprehensive and practical and provides teachers with immediate help in dealing with disruptive behaviour... [Paul Dix] manages to address the issues and offer workable solutions that leave you wondering why you hadn't tried it before; such is the simplicity of his advice...This book offers a concrete plan of action based on techniques of self evaluation and social interaction. This is highly recommended reading for NQTs and has much to offer even the seasoned practitioner; it provides simple clear advice on how to be the 'best' kind of teacher."

Gillian Long, TES Website, Jan 2008
