Sinopse

History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from The Chernobyl Disaster to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.

Chernobyl was a nuclear disaster that occurred in Ukraine in 1986, caused by a combination of human error and a poorly designed nuclear plant. The results were catastrophic for the people involved and for the environment as far afield as Scotland. The reported loss of life was not high by any standards, but it's evident that the actual losses were much higher than those which the government disclosed.

The Chernobyl disaster brought with it dramatic changes and consequences. It meant partially dissolving the iron curtain to force safety collaboration with the West. It also added to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The different stories in this series will show the readers that history should not just be seen from one perspective, but from the different eyes of the groups of people involved.

That Behaviour Book - The simple...

Stephen Baker

What kind of teacher are you? What values, beliefs and principles do successful teachers have and how do they sustain these in the face of challenging pupil behaviour?
In this timely book, Stephen Baker contends that rigid punishment systems weaponize young people's defiance against them and that punishment doesn't work. He believes that teachers need to take responsibility for behaviour and to lead it, not just 'manage' it, that we need to love the kids (even if we don't like them), that children are people, thatweare an event intheirlives, and that teaching is a relationship-based activity.
With each chapter followed by engaging 'takeaway tasks',That Behaviour Bookwill allow teachers to rapidly improve both their practice and their relationships with pupils and classes. The book looks at the values that will sustain you as a teacher, how routines will help you teach better and what 'positive expectations' really mean, making child-centred relational practice easy to apply in the classroom. Teachers will have a more realistic appreciation of their own situation and of the context in which they teach. In short, this book will help teachers learn how to get the very best out of their pupils.
That Behaviour Bookis an essential guide for both the beginner and the more experienced teacher. Its unique tone makes it an indispensable companion for the busy teacher, providing a sense of connection, challenge and reassurance all at once. Stephen Baker's anecdotes, drawn from his years as a pupil, teacher and trainer pack an emotional punch and are often hilarious.
Suitable for all teachers.
