Leadership and Student Behaviour: Leading Student Behavioural Problems: Policy, Methods, Recommendations Theti Aristokleous

Students displayed behaviour influences their whole life. It affects their ability to learn and to function as acceptable social people, so, the issue of leading and managing student behaviour is of major significance for their well being as educated people. Nevertheless, the managing of student behaviour is not included in the concept of leadership. This is the main reason for which I decided to undertake a case study in order to investigate how and why one Cypriot Primary school is leading and managing its students? behaviour with a view to making recommendations. The aim of my research was to find what are the key issues regarding student?s behaviour in general and in Cyprus; what do we know about the leadership and management of student?s behaviour in one Cypriot school and in general; how and why is one Primary school handling the leadership of student?s behaviour; and what recommendations can be made to improve the leadership of student?s behaviour in Cyprus and in general.
