John R. Frew Insights into the Modern Classroom

Annotation

This book of essays follows Johns previous publication, The Impact of Modern Neuroscience on Contemporary Teaching, and is a more practical guide to working in modern classrooms with a focus on dealing with students who present challenging behaviours. The essays track his journey over forty years of teaching; a significant amount of that time was spent working with children who displayed severely dysfunctional behaviours. Working with these extremely difficult kids allowed John to develop a philosophy around education that differs from the mainstream in that it is inclusive of problem children. It has also allowed him to acquire a set of techniques that will help all teachers manage difficult behaviour in their classrooms.
