Product reviews for When the Adults Change, Everything Changes

Having worked with Pivotal Education for the last two years, I have seen the benefits that adopting Paul's consistent routines and kind approach to managing students' more challenging behaviours can have - not only for the atmosphere around school but also for the health and well-being of the staff. This book is an absolute must-read for anyone who feels caught up in the madness of endless internal behaviour referrals and detention-chasing. I've been there - it's exhausting!

Through his writing, Paul brings a refreshing approach to the issues facing educators today with a mixture of hard-hitting questioning that will get you squirming about some of your own practice combined with fantastic, practical solutions that can be rolled out with ease for the benefit of all. Be prepared to face the odd expletive -¦ while the injections of humour will have you laughing out loud on the train!



Whatever your setting, and whatever stage of the journey to getting off the punishment road you are on, you will find this book really helpful in maintaining the -˜drip, drip, drip' of consistency and kindness. I've been inspired to launch -˜legendary line-ups' in the staff briefing this morning-¦ and I may even get a goat!
