Nurture Groups in school and at home

Description

This book explores how to engage pupils with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties in learning, both at school and at home. As well as explaining the social and emotional basis for learning, the book suggests practical strategies for helping young people to engage.

Authors Paul Cooper and Yonca Tiknaz present evidence of nurture groups’ success, from the perspectives of children who participate in them, their parents and the teaching staff who run them. By examining the factors that make a successful nurture group, the authors highlight some key best practice principles, including the importance of recognising and meeting a child’s emotional needs, and the pivotal role of the relationship between the teaching staff coordinating the group.

Nurture Groups in School and at Home provides essential information and clear, practical advice for teaching professionals running nurture groups in schools, as well as for parents and carers running them at home.
