Whether new to the profession, or with a number of years under our belts, managing the classroom can be a challenge and source of stress. This course aims to refresh your energy, offer you new insights into why behaviours occur – and equip you with more strategies to add to your toolkit.

Areas to be covered will include: rebooting your classroom climate; low level disruption; Social, Emotional & Mental Health Needs (especially attachment and self-esteem).

About The Course

Participants will have:

Consider how the 6 ‘Rs’ might be adopted within their classroom (Yes, ‘Rules’ is one - but comes much further down the list than you might expect!)

Explored how to reduce low level disruption occurring in the first place – and strategies to address it if it does occur.

Adapted the ‘Least to Most Intrusive’ continuum of intervention to their own classroom and style.

Considered how SEMH Needs manifest in the classroom – and specifically how attachment and self—esteem needs can be effectively addressed.

Used solution focused thinking to evaluate their current practice, highlighting strengths and areas for development

Created an action plan – with which they will be supported Steve after the course

What Teachers Say

The support we received allowed staff at all levels to unpick the barriers to successful behaviour for learning and develop effective tailored strategies for our setting.” Mark Anderson, head teacher, Huntingtower Primary School

“Steve’s support has provided us with a model and language to make sense of the emotional dimensions of behaviour management.” deputy head teacher – name withheld

“The HMI said that the school had been ‘transformed’ since the previous visit. I have no doubt that Steve’s work and support were a huge factor in achieving this transformation. His way of working with colleagues is subtle and takes people from where they currently are as a starting point. He forms excellent relationships with staff, and students enjoy working with him. He connects things together – whether this is people with people or people with ideas. He is very modest and enjoys seeing people succeed.” Chris Mallaband, principal of Langdon School, London
