Abstract
Up to now this book has contrasted a range of theories with practice, but also different approaches within classroom settings. In this chapter I interview experienced teachers, asking them about the interventions they made when faced with difficult behaviours during their careers. What were some of the worst situations they faced and what strategies did they use in order to overcome these difficulties? This small-scale qualitative research inquiry investigates a sample of experienced teachers dealing with disruptive students in their classes. I wanted to listen to what they said about their experiences interfacing with negative student behaviour. I firstly discuss a research instrument for collecting data on experiences and classroom strategies.
