Relationskompetens är centralt i det pedagogiska arbetet. Det har tagit tid men nu intresserar sig allt fler skolforskare för hur en utvecklad relationskompetens kan påverka det som sker i klassrummet, korridorer och på skolgårdar. Den här boken visar hur motiverande samtal kan hjälpa lärare och elever att se möjliga lösningar på konflikter och svårigheter som uppstår i skolans vardag, såsom sena ankomster, störande beteende i klassrummet, psykisk hälsa, konflikter mellan elever och där användning av konsekvenser kanske inte fungerar. Metoden är inte bara inriktad på problem utan kan också användas för att hjälpa elever till ökad studiemotivation och bättre förmåga att samspela med andra på ett positivt sätt. Motiverande samtal är en relativt ny företeelse inom skolan men har ett tydligt mål gemensamt med utbildning: att hjälpa eleverna att växa och förändras. Lärare, studenter på lärarutbildningar och andra som arbetar jämsides med lärarna – kuratorer, studie- och yrkesvägledare, stödpersonal och specialpedagoger – ges vägledning i hur relationskompetens kan utvecklas.

The first teacher's guide to the proven counseling approach known as motivational interviewing (MI), this pragmatic book shows how to use everyday interactions with students as powerful opportunities for change. MI comprises skills and strategies that can make brief conversations about any kind of behavioral, academic, or peer-related challenge more effective. Extensive sample dialogues bring to life the "dos and don'ts" of talking to K-12 students (and their parents) in ways that promote self-directed problem solving and personal growth. The authors include the distinguished codeveloper of MI plus two former classroom teachers. User-friendly features include learning exercises and reflection questions; additional helpful resources are available at the companion website. Written for teachers, the book will be recommended and/or used in teacher workshops by school psychologists, counselors, and social workers. This book is in the Applications of Motivational Interviewing series, edited by Stephen Rollnick, William R. Miller, and Theresa B. Moyers.
