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 various different sessions available as detailed below, and Sue can adapt these to suit the particular needs of your organisation.
For a keynote or 'one-off' session, Sue recommends covering the following areas:
For 'half day' or 'full day' bookings, Sue can cover the following areas or tailor the content to your specific needs:
Session One: ‘Positive Behaviour Management
In this session, Sue asks colleagues to examine how they go about establishing expectations, 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 inappropriate behaviour, and how they can take a more low key approach, framing what they say to support behaviour for learning.
Session Two: ‘The Positive Classroom’
In this session, Sue explores the role of motivators in creating a climate for better behaviour. She again asks colleagues to examine their own responses to 'the rules', and to being rewarded or sanctioned, in real life situations, relating this to how they work with their students.
Session Three: ‘The Positive Lesson’
In this energetic and practical session, Sue explores the role that high quality teaching and learning plays in ensuring on task behaviour. She asks staff to consider how they learn best, examining the best ways to frame instructions and explanations, and drawing out how this looks in the classroom.
Session Four: ‘Theory into Practice - Putting it into Action’
In this final session, Sue explores how colleagues can put the ideas learnt during the day into action in their classrooms. She encourages them 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.
