Summary:

"This book draws on an extensive international literature and policy context from a wide range of fields of enquiry, to challenge the orthodoxies and systemic issues that serve to marginalise children and young people and lead the way for schools to become more equitable, inclusive, and compassionate in their practice. With a particular focus on children with social, emotional and behavioural/mental health needs, it critiques policy and practice as they pertain to behaviour management and school discipline in the UK and the USA, and offers alternative perspectives based on collaborative and relational approaches to promoting positive behaviour and building community. Each chapter features reflection points to provoke discussion as well as offering additional suggested reading, culminating in a discussion of the role of school leaders in leading for social justice. Ultimately, this book will be of benefit to scholars, researchers, and students working in the fields of behaviour management, inclusion and special needs education, and education policy and politics more broadly. It will also offer substantial appeal to education professionals, school leaders, and those with a locus on the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people"-- Provided by publisher.
