"Talking for a Purpose": Language to Increase Compliance Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say

By Ms. MORRISH (MSc)

"Talking for a Purpose" introduces a progressive perspective to classroom management, emphasising the necessity of adult accountability within educational settings. Unlike traditional approaches that focus primarily on children's behaviour, this framework requires educators to first reflect upon and regulate their own behaviour, language and responses before supporting children's behaviour.

The book systematically guides readers through its sections using evidence-based, classroom-bases examples and scenarios, complemented by thoughtfully designed reflective activities. Through this structured approach, educators acquire the tools to implement a consistent, language-driven strategy, enabling them to make deliberate and regulated decisions when confronted with a variety of behaviour challenges in the classroom.

Ms Morrish (MSc), founder of Change Behaviour, and is the behaviour consultant for schools and delivers INSET training on behaviour management throughout the United Kingdom. She also lectures on classroom management at several initial teacher training (ITT) institutions and school-based initial teacher training (SCITT) courses. As well as an evaluator for behaviour focused action research projects conducted by trainee teachers.

Beyond her consultancy work, Ms Morrish (MSc) provides bespoke coaching sessions from her private clinic in Essex, UK. Collaborating with teachers, parents, and caregivers, especially in cases involving children with particularly challenging behaviour profiles.
