Bringing the Best Out in Boys

Communication Strategies for Teachers

Lucinda Neall

These time-tested communication strategies will help you get the best out of boys. The tips for tackling difficult behaviour will result in more classroom co-operation and learning - so that everyone benefits.

Lucinda Neall works with teachers and schools to identify what helps boys to learn. The result is this teachers' handbook, packed full of techniques, examples and tips. Topics include:

  • How to affirm and channel boys' energy, so you can get them on your side
  • How you can improve boys' emotional literacy, so they gain in confidence
  • How and when you can use boundaries and appropriate discipline to calm classes
  • How you can encourage boys so they can be at their best
  • Learn how you can get boys to co-operate without nagging and shouting
  • Find out the best way to engage boys with humour and playfulness.

'A godsend to harassed classroom teachers seeking practical ways of talking to boys so they learn and behave better.'
Mike Shankland,
Education Tutor, Liverpool Hope University and Edgehill College
