The Successful Integration of Challenging Pupils

Challenging pupils sap the morale of teachers and stretch schools resources, as well as undermining the learning opportunities of their peers.

However, all children do matter, and very dificult pupils can become highly successful if sound behaviour management techniques are employed.
