It is widely accepted that good and outstanding teaching is the most effective way to get good behaviour. Teachers who plan and teach dynamic, stimulating lessons based on sound assessment and excellent subject knowledge are likely to experience fewer difficulties with behaviour.
Our training is focussed on the outstanding aspects of teaching and develops the core principles of teaching to support effective behaviour and classroom management. There are a host of contributing factors to outstanding behaviour management and we look to cover all aspects to ensure that participants complete the training feeling more confident and competent at managing behaviour. At the end of our training participants will:
Personal Style
Understand that they are responsible for ensuring the highest standards of behaviour from their pupils;
Have developed their own personal style for managing behaviour.
Be able to vary the tone and volume of their voice to teach effectively and manage behaviour.
Understand how to stand, move, make use of space and use eye contact in order to be an authoritative presence in the classroom.
Self-management
Understand what responses, both verbal and non-verbal, can have on children’s behaviour. Participants will be able to manage their own emotions when teaching and be sensitive to the emotions of the pupils.
Reflection
Be able to reflect on the way they manage behaviour and their classrooms and be prepared to change what isn’t working well. This reflective learning is a powerful means to improve performance and focus on those areas of development.
School Systems
Understand how effective school systems support good behaviour management, and prevent and deal with bullying. Participants will be able to adapt their practice to fit with the school behaviour policy and should understand that consistency is an essential component of managing behaviour.

Be able to plan and teach lessons that take account of individual children’s special needs, so that they are less likely to misbehave.
