The Behavioural Learning Classroom breaks new ground, allowing teachers to harness their students’ traits and quirks to produce a more effective and compassionate classroom.

- Optimising lesson design

- Effective (home)work

- Marking and feedback

- Rewards and sanctions

- The physical environment of the classroom

- Pupil behaviour

- Designing behavioural experiments and analysing data

Supported by fundamental findings in behavioural science, this book provides practical, accessible, tried and tested techniques to improve the mental wellbeing of pupils and teachers alike. It is an enjoyable and accessible read for any teacher or school leader who wants to enhance their pupils’ experience of learning.
