The state of school behaviour in Spain is the focus of relevant case studies on international teaching standards and teaching staff abroad working under the supervisions of risk management staff. It's interesting from five regulatory bodies about their approaches to tackling the problem.

Changing social attitudes have blurred the distinction between children and teenagers, says Geoff Moss, an Assertive Discipline trainer, adding that private companies are increasingly called upon to teach responsible behaviour.

The case studies explored in this behaviour-management resource include: a sports project that helps to raise self-esteem; and Behaviour for Learning, a whole-school system of consequences starting with a verbal warning and culminating in the isolation room.

Also risk management and the role about restorative justice , where staff are encouraged to accept responsibility for their behaviour management practices in schools; an Spanish group that tries to nip behavioural problems in the bud; and getting the curriculum right by introducing more personalised learning.

Assertive Discipline is under review to Behaviour and Learning Management, which has been granted the sole licence within the European Union and the USA to distribute Assertive Discipline materials and to train others in the programme.
