About this listen

In this abridged audiobook version of his best-selling title, Paul Dix talks you through the book’s hugely influential behavior management approach - an approach whereby expectations and boundaries are exemplified by people, not by a thousand rules that nobody can recall. The testing, watch out for and nuggets sections have been removed for this audiobook, but the indispensable advice on how to involve all staff in developing a whole school ethos built on kindness, empathy, and understanding remains. Suitable for teachers and school leaders - in any setting - who are looking to upgrade their approach to school behavior.

Contents include:

  1. Visible consistency, visible kindness
  2. The counterintuitive classroom
  3. Deliberate botheredness
  4. Certainty in adult behaviour
  5. Keystone classroom routines
  6. Universal microscripts: flipping the script
  7. Punishment addiction, humiliation hangover
  8. Restore, redraw, repair
  9. Some children follow rules, some follow people
  10. Your behaviour policy sucks!
  11. The 30 day magic

I’ve been a teacher for 22 years and I never have any problems with any students. By being kind, calm, patient, caring and understanding I always win over even the most hard to reach students.

This audiobook talks about a lot of techniques that I’ve developed in my own teaching over the years. It was like listening to a kindred spirit. Fantastic. I’m buying the book now because I understand there’s more in the book.

Absolutely loved it. Great content and delivered at excellent quality. The reader, author, knows his stuff and it is great to hear that Paul is so passionate about the subject.

There are plenty of good examples, along with lots of good guidance and practical advice.

I have given the printed book to Housemasters to read over the summer. Any change must start with adults and this book and Paul's experience confirms that!
