The Voices of Pupils with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties. Susan Wise gained her doctorate by researching the experiences of young people who had become ‘disaffected’ with school. Here, she uses that information to provide a fascinating insight into the feelings and views of those young people who are hard to motivate. What we learn from her work is that we might not like what we hear, we might not agree with what we hear, but, if we are to include these young people in our schools, then we must listen to them. This book very cleverly combines the academic study with a practical, accessible format. Margin summaries allow the browser to find relevant material. Most importantly, the book provides teachers with suggestions on how to better provide for the pupils who are hard to reach and hard to teach. Book isbn 1873942133 €22.40 |
