N2  - "Classroom control remains a major worry for every teacher and is the key to professional success. John Robertson's highly respected book continues to provide practical advice, and examples show teachers of primary and secondary school students how to develop better relationships with students and become more effective communicators by improving their non-verbal behaviour - the ways in which unspoken messages and attitudes are exchanged." "This third edition has been comprehensively revised and updated to include recent developments in managing disruptive behaviour in non-confrontational ways and advice on formulating classroom and whole school behaviour policies. Topics of concern to all teachers - conveying authority, gaining and maintaining students' attention, dealing with challenges, planning for disciplinary interventions - are dealt with in detail, and illustrations based on video tapes of teachers' lessons reinforce and complement the text." "New additions include activities which provide teachers with opportunities for role play and individual study to practise the features of classroom interaction which play a significant part in developing teacher-student relationships."--BOOK JACKET
