Industry Reviews

Creating Positive Classrooms is a practical, accessible guide packed with 50 concise strategies to help secondary and upper primary teachers build calm, well-managed learning environments. Each tip is short, standalone, and easy to dip into, perfect for busy educators or professional learning sessions.

Strickland focuses on routines, expectations, teacher presence, and addressing low-level disruption, whilst offering clear, actionable advice grounded in real classroom experience. One standout strategy I trialled was the consistent use of threshold routines, which led to calmer lesson starts and improved student engagement.

While the book is light on academic theory, its strength lies in simplicity and relevance. It's particularly useful for early career teachers or anyone looking to reset classroom culture. Those seeking deeper pedagogical insights might prefer a different text, but for behaviour and classroom climate, it delivers a no-nonsense toolkit.
