ABSTRACT

If your oven is too cold or too hot, nothing you put in to cook will come out right. Similarly, whatever strategies are put into place for behavioural issues, the chance of their effectiveness will be determined by the context – the emotional climate of the classroom (Reyes, Brackett, Rivers, White, & Salovey, 2012). This is dependent not only on the skills of the individual teacher but also the emotional climate of the school, especially in the secondary sector.
