First published in 1986, Disruptive Pupil Management presents a comprehensive overview of the disruptive behaviour in schools in the light of the Elton Report. The emphasis of this book is that a preventative approach to the problem is a more valid response than this crisis management approach which results in pupils being sent to special units. The book therefore stresses the importance of schools managing their own techniques and interpersonal skills, rather than schools importing solutions. This book is a must read for all educationists, teachers, and researchers of primary and secondary education.
