Effective Schooling for Pupils with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (Paperback)

Increasing pressure and new demands on LEAs, schools and their staff haveled to an overall reduction in the number of special schools for children with EBD, and to a questioning of their place within the range of provision for these pupils. Recent attention has also been drawn by HMCI to the number of these schools which have failed to pass the OFSTED inspection process. Based on a national examination of special schools providing for pupils with EBD, this book identifies factors associated with good practice. It also offers advice on how schools can become more effective in providing for the country's most troubled challenging pupils, and highlights aspects of successful provision which can be applied in mainstream schools and pupil referral units.
