ASBO Teacher: An irreverent guide to surviving in challenging classrooms

Foreword by David Didau.

Samuel Elliott has been the pupil from hell.

He knows what he needed from his teachers in order to turn his life around - and in this book he shares that knowledge with hard-pressed colleagues who just want to do their best for their pupils.

In ASBO Teacher Samuel offers no-nonsense principles hewn from the chalkface of the modern British classroom: ideas and approaches that have worked for the author in the most challenging settings and with the most testing pupils.

Covering a range of issues spanning behaviour management, lesson structure, resource preparation and narratives in the classroom, the book is a blueprint for becoming a particular kind of teacher - one who has high expectations, a concern for pupil well-being, and a knack for ushering learners into more effective learning.

(Note: ASBO stands for 'antisocial behaviour order', a legal order in the UK issued to restrict an individual aged ten or above from harassing or causing alarm or distress to other people.)
