Reviews
Roy Howarth has condensed over 30 years of experience in successfully working with SEMH children into a book that can be read in a night. An essential read for any teacher needing to rethink their approach to working with pupils who sometimes make you question your own ability to teach them anything! This book offers practical ideas to refresh our current practices and enable our most disadvantaged children to succeed. * Martin Cookson, Secondary Phase Leader in an SEMH school *
Roy Howarth is a dedicated, innovative and imaginative former headteacher whose whole focus is on positive outcomes at all times for his very troubled and demanding pupils. His ability to win trust and work with them, whilst supporting his staff in their difficult task, has earned him respect across the field. This distillation of his vast experience adds tried and tested techniques to any teacher's toolkit. * Tony Scott, retired Education Officer for pupils with SEBD *
A book full of empathy and compassion, acknowledging the high level of challenge both pupils and teachers can face on a daily basis. With practical strategies and advice, this book is a useful tool for both new and experienced teachers. * Ruth Bodley, Deputy Headteacher and SENCO, @ruthiebod *
'This book would be an excellent resource for both new and experienced teachers and members of staff. It would also be useful in staff development sessions.' * SEN Magazine *
