Description
Based on the premise that teachers can only provide effective support for pupils with emotional and behavioural difficulties if they feel supported themselves, this book provides senior teachers and advisory staff with an effective and adaptable model in which to set up either whole-school or departmental peer support networks, encouragement for increased collaboration between teachers who will learn to look at problems objectively and develop systems to share resources and strategies, and practical activities which promote the notions of peer support and teamwork by building on the existing skills and expertise of teachers, thereby enhancing their self-esteem.
