Challenging Behaviour in Mainstream Schools : Practical Strategies for Effective Intervention and Reintegration

This work is designed to help teachers successfully include and reintegrate pupils with emotional and behavioural difficulties and challenging behaviours by offering a structured programme that includes assessment, group work and post-intervention strategies.

It also aims to assist schools and LEAs in meeting their responsibilities under the new "Social Inclusion: Pupil Support" guidance.

The system developed is a highly versatile and flexible approach for school searching for an alternative to exclusion.

It offers a process that can be used: to inform IEPs and Code of Practice stages; and as part of a Pastoral Support Programme.

Teachers in mainstream schools, schools for pupils with behavioural difficulties, Pupil Referral Units or anyone involved in promoting inclusion and reintegration should find the material in the book useful.
