Intervention Approaches

This chapter begins by focusing on dealing with disruptive behaviour and by the end of the chapter you will have a better understanding of your values and beliefs and how they might be categorised into three approaches to intervention. It begins with a self-assessment of your skills before an engagement withyourvalues andyourbeliefs through a questionnaire based upon making choices about classroom scenarios and more general beliefs about pupils. The three approaches - system, negotiation and relationship - are briefly described prior to a case study of how one secondary school, the TAs in early years contexts and care staff in a special school responded to the questionnaire.
