Turning the traditional approach to classroom behaviour management on its headJim Roberson believes that school should be the place where you learn all you need to learn to succeed in life, whatever formthat success may take. Most importantly, in his view, you have to learn discipline. For Jim, behaviour is the ‘B-word' and heforbids mention of it. Discipline, on the other hand, is neatly described not as something others do to you to get you to behavenor even as something you do to yourself, but rather as ‘what you do for yourself'.What Jim advocates is a partnership between children and schools, whereby schools open up to teaching children everythingthey will need to prosper at and beyond school, no matter what career or life choices they make. In return, children will start toacquire and then implement the strategies and benefits that come with self-discipline on an ongoing basis.Jim has worked with some of the most challenging young people in the UK and, whether he's working with experienced classroompractitioners, struggling supply teachers, students themselves or even the police, he delivers powerful, practical, common sensestrategies that bring the best out of some of the most demanding and hard-to-reach young people.
