Delivering the Whole Curriculum

Learning Difficulties in Primary Classrooms

Dr Kevin Jones

Partnership with students, involving them more in decisions which effect their education, can improve both motivation and behaviour. This is recognised by recent legislation, notably the Code of Practice for special needs. The contributions in this collection first consider issues such as empowerment and sources for learning and behaviour difficulties. The central sections, written by respected experts, look at different kinds of partnership and how they can be used, including peer tutoring, counselling, contracts, class-based support, self- monitoring and a range of whole school approaches.

Partnership with Pupils

Overcoming Learning and Behaviour Difficulties

This book reports findings from a major, multidisciplinary study of the impact of broadcast television on the remote island community of St. Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean. Broadcast television was introduced to the island for the first time in March 1995. This introduction represented a major event on the island, whose only televisual experience had been through video. In the years leading up to the introduction of TV, the researchers who wrote this book collected data by observing the island's young children in classroom settings, and during free-play. In addition to these observations they asked the children's teachers to rate their students' behavior, and invited the children to explain to them what leisure time activities they engaged in. With the data they were able to amass on these key variables they have assembled and coded the results into baseline measures central to the study. Once TV had arrived, they collected data annually on the key dependent measures to determine if the introduction of broadcast TV had any discernible influence on the behavior of the children.

Broadcast Television Effects in A Remote Community

Fully revised and updated, this second edition of the successful Managing Misbehaviour in Schools presents a wide-ranging survey of both the theoretical and the practical ideas and suggestions for the efficient management of behaviour problems in the school and classroom. It is invaluable for student and practising teachers, as well as their colleagues in other supporting professions.
