Every book is brand new and ordered on demand directly from the publisher once your order is placed. Due to the size of our catalogue, we do not keep these titles in stock.

In Running the Room: The Teacher's Guide to Behaviour, Tom Bennett rewrote the book on behaviour management, and outlined the psychology and dynamics underpinning student habits. In this companion, he goes into more detail about how to apply those principles to the classroom. Addressing a wide range of circumstances, he explores popular teacher dilemmas such as:
How to deal with students who are late?
What are the best ways to work with parents?
Managing cover lessons successfully
How to tame smartphones
The best way to design a seating plan
How to start the lesson for the first time
Dealing with low-level disruption
Getting the class quiet when you - and they - need it the most
And many more. Using practical examples and evidence-informed techniques, Tom demystifies the puzzles that complex behaviour often presents, and guides teachers new and old carefully to a better understanding of how to run the room they way everyone deserves.
