Practical advice - By: CS, South Shropshire, 18 Jun 2007 
The author is a lively speaker & this is reflectedin his book. The book is an easy read & is packed with sound, practical, no-nonsense advice. Invaluable - I have noticed a marked improvementin the behaviour of my pupils since implementing Paul's tips.
It really works! - By: Zoff, 05 Jun 2007 This is such a comprehensive book & very readable. It's clearly laid out with a consitent format & an index, which makes it easy to find specific & relevant information. With meaningful quotes, principles of the approach to take defined clearly, anecdotal examples, actions to take, exercises, key ideas if you just want a quick pointer & action plans (if you have nothing else to do!) it ticked all the boxes for me. Although very secondary based, the strategies are transferable to the primary classroom.
The approach is so reasonable & pupil centered & all about relationships. I also like the way it examines teacher behaviours & it made me reflect on the messages many other aspects of my school were giving to children. It has made me much more conscious of my ability to control situations.
This book is a really useful working tool with space for notes & stuff on the CD to print out to support positive action.
Taking Care of Behaviour - By: E. Sullivan, 29 May 2007 This book is so well written & easy to follow, I think every teacher should have a copy, no matter what they teach, how long they have been teaching, orin what environment!
Taking Care of Behaviour - By: Mrs. S. Stansfield, 29 May 2007 
Paul Dix has written a practical & accessible guide for teachers. Each chapter is broken down into a good mixture of common sense tips, exercises to help you reflect on & improve your own practice & a summary of the key ideas. I am finding it a useful tollin mentoring new staff. The accompanying CD-Rom is helpfulin providing copies of exercisesin the book, which members of staff can use to record & track their own development activities. Well done, Paul!
Take care of yourself; take care of behaviour - By: Bridget Vickers, 29 May 2007 This book is everything you need to get to grips with behaviour management. Whether you use this on your own or as part of a 'learning group' it is like a breath of fresh airin the whole behaviour debate. If you want a demystified approach this is it!
