Behaviour from the Inside Out

Promoting the positive, dealing with the difficult and aiming for sustainable change.

Student behaviour is an increasing concern in many schools. Often teachers are at a loss to know what to do and school often resort to ’tough discipine’ where reward and sanction is the favoured response. This is usually ineffective. There are no quick fixes but some approaches are better than others over the longer term for both students and teachers.
Based on Sue’s experience as a teacher, educational psychologist, and researcher her many books on behaviour are well received across the world.
