When I did my PGCE the only thing I wanted to know was how to motivate my students and make them behave. College taught me everything but that, and now, 20 years later not a lot seems to have changed, and it is time that it did.

This course is run by someone who regularly teaches in challenging schools, having spent 9 years as an AST in failing institutions. It is easy to read the books and talk the talk, but this course will give you strategies that really work.

Students only misbehave if their needs are not being met. The difficulty is in identifying these needs and being able to address them. What really is the basis for motivation? Why do boys forget and girls never forgive? Who is really controlling your classroom?
