The New Authority for Schools: Manual for Teachers talks school leadership and teachers through a new way of responding to challenging behaviour in school for those hard-to-reach students who do not respond to traditional approaches. The manual introduces new ways of thinking as well as the practical skills for how to use the New Authority in schools and classrooms. Each section is a stand-alone handout, so the manual can be read cover-to-cover, or teachers can select the parts they find most relevant. Schools may find this particularly relevant when updating their code of relationships/behaviour.
The New Authority is proposed as a relationship-based response to challenging behaviour in schools that is sensitive to the brain’s response to stress, the impact of trauma and disadvantage, and the impact of neurodivergence and neurodevelopmental delays.
The manual is on the right-hand side of the website pages with more information from a journal article here: https://authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S2590-2911(23)00383
