At the book's core is an investigation into how teachers' perceptionsand feelings can impact on pupil attitudes. It employs a 10-point scalethat links teacher attitude to pupil attitudes and behaviour. The booksays all teachers should strive for level one, the top level, and thatnew teachers should have the opportunity to see lessons that haveachieved this, in order for them to have a goal to aspire to.
This relationship between the levels of stress, dread and pressure inthe teacher and the level of achievement in the lesson is directlyproportional, and we all need to remember to enjoy the teaching andlearning experience.
Haydn's book promotes this approach in a positive way and provides tipson improving ourselves as professionals when handling behaviour in theclassroom. We can all improve this facet of teaching with thought,reflectiveness and training.
