Cracking the hard class : strategies for managing the harder than average class (2nd ed)

Bill Rogers, in "Cracking the Hard Class, Second Edition", highlights many practical strategies that can be implemented to overcome the hard class syndrome.

These include: identifying what makes a class 'hard'; developing a class behaviour plan; developing colleague support; following up on disruptive students; changing patterns of bad behaviour; and assisting relief teachers and the hard class.

As well as constructive ideas and strategies, "Cracking the Hard Class, Second Edition" also highlights the normality of the pressures and stress felt by teachers dealing with these classes.
