"Talking for a Purpose": Language to Increase Compliance Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say

This book offers a much-needed shift within the realm of classroom management. The focus is often upon the behaviour of children, and the adults' behaviour is not always examined

"Talking for a Purpose" increases accountability. It is 'adult self-management focused' in that all educators have to manage their behaviour, language and responses, before addressing any behaviour challenges displayed by a child.

This book takes the reader through each sub-section utilising classroom-based examples and scenarios with reflective activities. Readers will be able to implement a consistent language-based approach which empowers the reader to make regulated behaviour decisions when facing a range of classroom challenges.
