Ideal for all teachers, support staff and ITT students.

Teachers increasingly report spending too much time on behaviour management

– often with limited positive impact. This course seeks to change that.

Understanding how the brain develops during childhood and adolescence enables educators to support pupils more effectively as they grow.

This course will equip you with the knowledge and understanding you need to

maintain a calm, productive classroom. This includes information about what causes poor behaviour, the latest thinking on different types of behaviour – and critically what you can do about it. We will explore strategies for responding in the moment and how to improve behaviour in the long term.

The course is structured into two virtual training sessions, each three hours long:

Session 1: Understanding behaviour

Lots of things may be happening in a child or teenagers brain when they act out. In this session you will learn how to decode their actions and identify underlying causes, putting you back in the driving seat and ready to respond effectively. Uncover the neuroscience behind pupil behaviour and strengthen your ability to consciously create relationships of trust, dignity and support with your pupils.

Session 2: Responding to behaviour

In this session we draw together the latest neuroscience and evidence of what works in behaviour management to give you a straight forward roadmap for success in the classroom. Discover practical ways to implement the best practice principles set out by Behaviour Hubs, the Education Endowment Foundation's '6 recommendations for improving behaviour in schools' and the Children and Young People's Mental Health Coalition's
Behaviour and Mental Health in Schools' report in practice.

By the end of the course, you will be equipped with new tips, tools and

techniques to address changing behaviour patterns in the classroom using a

shame-sensitive, non-judgemental approach.
