Teaching Toward Solutions has been created for teachers to help improve pupil behaviour, grades, parental support and staff morale using methods with a positive emphasis.
Techniques and strategies are suggested that give teachers positive ways of working with pupils to handle behavioural issues and poor results. The focus is on solutions to problems rather than the problems themselves and thus encourages teachers to identify children's abilities and strengths in order to build on these examples of success.
Separated into sections the text covers creating a motivational atmosphere, stopping behavioural problems, meeting with parents, discipline and creating opportunities for pupils to improve. The techniques are well supported by case studies and practical examples to aid understanding.
Newly qualified and student teachers will find this an ideal source of advice and this may also be a useful source of new ideas for more experienced teachers.
