John R. Frew has worked in public education for over forty years, the last twenty-four as a school principal. In 1988 he established a unit for students with emotional disturbances and severe behaviours. Two years later, based on the success of the unit, he became the founding principal of the first school in New South Wales, Australia, that was dedicated to dealing with students who had severe conduct disorders and oppositional defiance. John has written numerous books relating to the management of students with severe behaviour. He has published articles nationally and internationally. He has also presented at numerous conferences across Australia and internationally. As well, he has had a successful career in sport, which led to two books, The Art of Coaching Kids and Training Drills for All Team Sports. During his time in coaching, John wrote two columns for local and national papers.
