At some point in every teacher′s career he/she will encounter the `hard class′ and from day one the countdown to the end of the day, term and year is on in earnest. But as demanding as it may be, a difficult class does not have to dominate and permeate through all waking moments. Bill Rogers, in Cracking the Hard Class, Second Edition, highlights many practical strategies that can be implemented to overcome the hard class syndrome.
These include: identifying what makes a class `hard′; developing a class behaviour plan; developing colleague support; following up on disruptive students; changing patterns of bad behaviour; and assisting relief teachers and the hard class.
As well as constructive ideas and strategies, Cracking the Hard Class, Second Edition also highlights the normality of the pressures and stress felt by teachers dealing with these classes.
′The book offers a very practical approach to building specific skills that will give teachers confidence in dealing with their toughest customers′ - Debate
′Teachers struggling to manage "difficult" pupils may be relieved to learn that the author, along with many other educationalists, believes that effective teaching can be developed by acquiring the necessary skills - you don′t have to be born with them! This book is full of those skills and how to put them into practice. With stress levels apparently rising amongst teachers, Bill Rogers′ calm approach to tackling even the most extreme behavioural problems in the classroom, to create a "more positive working environment", will come as a relief to many teachers′ - Youthinmind
