Leading Positive Classrooms

I commend this book for both beginning teachers and those well into their teaching journey. – Dr Bill Rogers

In a time where Australian classrooms are grappling with a rising tide of student misbehaviour exacerbated by a looming teacher shortage, this book emerges as a beacon of change. Christopher Hudson challenges the archaic disciplinarian approach, urging educators to evolve with the times and view behaviour as a skill to be taught, modelled and practised.

Leading Positive Classrooms makes a compelling case for adopting an educative approach to behaviour management with a focus on relationships. It offers practical insights and tools for change including exemplar conversational scripts, real-world strategies and reflection activities. This powerful resource offers a roadmap to shift the focus from managing behaviour to leading behaviour, ultimately creating a positive and transformative learning environment.

Christopher Hudson is a passionate educator drawing upon experience as an teacher and leader in government schools in Victoria, Australia. However, his journey into education has not been a linear one and he has worked across multiple sectors and in different roles prior to entering education.
