Maurice Galton and his team have collected examples from various schools of what works in re-energizing demotivated pupils. This book presents practical advice and strategies for improving lower secondary school classrooms, ranging from reducing class size, to innovative induction programs emphasizing the development of core study skills, and developing effective procedures to train pupils to cooperate rather than confront each other during lessons.
