When the Adults Change, Everything Changes illustrates how, with their traditional sanction- and exclusion-led methods, the 'punishment brigade' are losing the argument.

This book and the Pivotal resources that go with it are gold dust for any leader who wants to transform their school into one where relationships matter and school improvement is more than just about helping a select few to learn. In the absence of sanctions, however, I cannot help but agree with Chris Keates’- the NASUWT general secretary’s- comments.

It is one of the main factors of my career choice and helped me solidify my thoughts on wanting to be a teacher. The real-life examples that Paul Dix shares enable you to reflect on how you would approach certain situations and why some approaches don’t work. She has ‘walked the walk’ on all she delivers, and has certainly used the many mistakes she has made as learning points in her career! Children have responded extremely positively to the new rules we've introduced: ready, respectful, safe. On a personal note, teachers like Paul (and like you if you choose to read this fantastic book) literally saved my life.This is a book which any adult who deals with children, and not just teachers and others who work in school settings, would find enlightening, thought provoking and revealing. Building strong relationships amongst staff and with pupils and parents allowed us to ensure that teachers could teach and learners could learn. As a 14-year-old he vowed he would change the way adults deal with behaviour and I defy any reader not to rethink their own strategies as a result of reading this book. His work has proved that a well-established positive ethos and culture in which all children and staff are valued is vital in creating the right climate for children to feel safe and secure and ultimately successful in everything they do. Most importantly, it provides a clear message about the importance of children knowing who they can trust and who has given up on them.

Teachers often complain about not being supported by SLT with behaviour issues, and to add insult to injury, teachers are often blamed for the poor behaviour itself. It outlines how, as adults, we can shift routines and develop an appreciation for positive behavior using tactics such as -˜recognition boards' and -˜going above and beyond'. As a teacher, leader and teacher trainer, Paul Dix has been working to transform the most difficult behaviour in the most challenging urban schools, referral units and colleges for the last 25 years.

One main approach that works across many schools is a sense of consistency, with pupils and teachers knowing what is expected, along with visible kindness and respect among every within a school community.
