What Else Can I Do With You? Helping Children Improve Classroom Behaviour (Lucky Duck Books) by Fiona Wallace

This practical guide offers educators a proactive toolkit for teaching essential on-task behavior skills, transforming classroom management from a system of discipline into an opportunity for positive skill-building. The activities are designed to help students develop the focus and self-regulation needed for academic success, using methods that feel familiar and constructive rather than punitive. It provides a welcome alternative to traditional sanctions, framing behavioral expectations as teachable competencies much like reading or math. Suitable for use with children up to age 13, this resource empowers teachers to cultivate a more focused and cooperative learning environment.

What makes this approach distinctive is its alignment with instructional methods teachers already use successfully for academic subjects, making implementation intuitive and consistent. It will particularly benefit educators seeking to reduce confrontational dynamics and replace them with supportive, educational interactions that build student confidence and accountability. The activities encourage appropriate classroom conduct through positive reinforcement and clear, teachable steps. This shift in perspective can significantly impact the overall classroom atmosphere, fostering mutual respect and a more engaged, self-directed student body.
