Abstract
M.Ed.
Effective schools have always striven to provide appropriate teaching and learning
environments. Schools are now required to meet this challenge, to demonstrate
accountability and consequently have become more aware of this educational issue. A
major component of good education is the maintenance of a behavioural environment. In
response to this and to recent legislation, schools have been increasingly involved in
developing behavioural policies which relate to social aspects of the teaching and learning
context. In this research the implementation of behaviour management strategies in inner
cities schools in London will be discussed.
