Positive Behaviour Management

During her Positive Behaviour Management CPD day, Sue uses a combination of training slides, practical demonstrations and group activities to help staff examine, develop and improve their behaviour management skills.  As well as being thought provoking, this course is a great deal of fun, and should really reinvigorate and inspire your staff.  Sue makes a point of not just ‘talking the talk’, but also ‘walking the walk’.  The day not only tells your staff about the best approaches, but shows them as well, as Sue immerses them in a high quality training experience.  There are four sessions available, and Sue will adapt these to suit the particular needs of your organisation.  For a half day or twilight booking, Sue recommends a combination of Sessions One and Three.

Session One: ‘Positive Teaching Styles’ 
In this session, Sue asks staff to examine their teaching styles, thinking about which aspects work, and which need development.  She explores the vital role played by both the teacher’s use of voice, and also non verbal signals.  Sue encourages staff to consider their instinctive reactions to misbehaviour, and how they can take a more rational approach.
  • Getting the Basics Right
  • Effective Verbal and Non Verbal Communication
  • Key Techniques and Strategies

Session Two: ‘The Positive Classroom’
In this session, Sue explores the role of rewards and sanctions in creating a climate for better behaviour.  She again asks staff to examine their own responses to being rewarded or sanctioned, and to relate this to how they work with their students.
  • Creating a Positive Atmosphere
  • Making Rewards Work
  • Making Sanctions Work
  • Positive Use of Sanctions

Session Three: ‘The Positive Lesson’
In this energetic and practical session, Sue explores the role that high quality teaching and learning plays in getting better behaviour.  She asks staff to consider how they learn best, and draws out the links between this and the way that they work with their students.

  • Positive Teaching Strategies
  • The Format of Lessons
  • The Content of Lessons
  • Engaging your Students
  • Devising Engaging Lessons

Session Four: Option A: ‘Staying Positive: When Things get Tough’
In this final session, Sue explores why confrontations happen, and how staff might either avoid them, or deal with them better.  Again, she asks staff to experience how a confrontation really feels from the student’s perspective.  Finally, she gives some timely advice on dealing with the stress caused by difficult behaviour.
  • Why do Confrontations Arise?
  • How to Avoid Confrontation
  • How to Deal with Confrontation
  • Managing Stress
  • Q&A Time

Session Four: Option B: ‘Theory into Practice - Putting it into Action’
In this final session, Sue explores how staff can put the ideas learnt during the day into action in their classrooms.  She encourages staff to examine exactly why behaviour issues are occurring for them with specific students or groups of students.  She asks them to explore what these behaviour issues are telling them about the needs of their students, and how they can move forwards from their current position to form better relationships and improved behaviour.

Timings can be adapted to suit your requirements.  Please note: it is important to incorporate breaks of at least fifteen minutes between each session, so that staff can sustain their concentration.
