- Summary:
- Steve Taylor, a teacher at Kinhgshurst School in Birmingham, noticed similarities between the needs and behaviour of the children he teaches and the horses he looks after. As a big fan of Monty Roberts, The Horse Whisperer, he realised that he could adapt the principles Roberts uses with horses and apply them in the classroom. Stephen explains how staff create a safe environment in which learning can take place. Reward positive actions. Never use threats, coercion or violence. Listen. Are patient. Wait for co-operation and be consistent.This programme tells the story of how a whole school has been inspired by the work of the Horse Whisperer.
