THERE IS A BEHAVIOURAL NIRVANA: ONE THAT IS CALM, PURPOSEFUL AND RESPECTFUL. WHERE POOR PUPIL BEHAVIOUR IS AS RARE AS A PE TEACHER IN TROUSERS AND WHERE RELATIONSHIPS DRIVE ACHIEVEMENT. ANNOYINGLY AND PREDICTABLY, THE ROAD IS HARD AND THE RIDE BUMPY AND LITTERED WITH CLICHES - BUT IT IS ACHIEVABLE. AND WHEN YOU GET THERE IT IS A LITTLE SLICE OF HEAVEN.A REVOLUTION IN BEHAVIOUR CAN BE EXCITING, DYNAMIC AND, AT TIMES, PLEASANTLY TERRIFYING. BUT REVOLUTION IS SHORT-LIVED. IN AFTER THE ADULTS CHANGE PAUL SHOWS YOU THAT, AFTER THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE ADULTS HAS CHANGED, THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO WIDER AND DEEPER: TO ACCELERATE RELATIONAL PRACTICE, DECREASE DISPROPORTIONATE PUNISHMENT AND FULLY INTRODUCE RESTORATIVE, INFORMED AND COACHING-LED CULTURES.PAUL DELVES INTO THE POSSIBILITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT IN PUPIL BEHAVIOUR AND TEACHER-PUPIL RELATIONSHIPS, DRAWING FURTHER UPON A HUGELY INFLUENTIAL BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT APPROACH WHEREBY EXPECTATIONS AND BOUNDARIES ARE EXEMPLIFIED BY CALM, CONSISTENT AND REGULATED ADULTS.
