THE GUIDES<\/p>\n

BOOK STRUCTURE<\/p>\n

Each book opens with an introductory explanation<\/strong> of the main topic<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 to support teachers that may not know much about it. Then, the following chapters describe the most frequent situations<\/strong> occurring in the classroom and provide concrete suggestions<\/strong> on how to manage them.<\/p>\n

The reason for each behaviour is initially explained in a few brief sentences (Why does he\/she do this?<\/em>), followed by simple and clear indications for the teacher on the attitudes to be adopted and avoided<\/strong> (What to do, What to avoid<\/em>).  A discussion on the topic<\/strong> follows (What to keep in mind<\/em>) and tools and strategies<\/strong> are provided in How to intervene<\/em> regarding some crucial educational and didactic aspects. This is further explored in the paragraphs dedicated to Structuring and collaboration<\/em>, guidelines are then drawn up with parents and other school workers (The educational pact<\/em>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
