Understanding and supporting behaviour through emotional intelligence Summary

Understanding and supporting behaviour through emotional intelligence: A critical guide for secondary teachers by Victor Allen

The behaviour of students is a common concern and challenge for those working in secondary schools. In addition there is continued government emphasis on behaviour as an important educational issue. This book, aimed at all secondary trainees and teachers, takes a fresh approach to the topic and looks at how an understanding of behaviour types and new findings on the development of the brain can increase emotional intelligence, improve classroom behaviour, promote stress-free teaching and so enhance learning in the secondary school. This accessible text combines both theory and practice, encourages reflection throughout, and offers a wealth of ideas and resources to help teachers develop their skills in this area.

Understanding and supporting behaviour through emotional intelligence Reviews

Thank you for sending me a copy of this most excellent text which I have recommended to Secondary PGCE students at BGU. I consider the text to be a useful guide to developing a sound understaninf of behaviour for learning. I have also added the book to reading lists for MA and postgraduate students working within our school of Professional Development. We have a range of modules related to professional practice and this text applies theoretical nuance to practical recognition. In addition to this, the focus on emotional intelligence is a timely balance to policy directives on 'discipline' and enables students to develop a more critical position in their analysis. Anecdotally, my daughter, who is Head of Drama at an outstanding school in London has also read the book with great interest and passed it to colleagues within the school. In short, this book has received excellent endorsements from classroom and university practitioners and I have no hesitation in highly recommending the work in a variety of educational context. -- Yvonne Hill, Bishop Grossteste University
