Discover how to build a positive and nurturing classroom environment for all your pupils with this Positive Behaviour Management CPD course. In this self-guided, research-based study, you’ll learn how to avoid the overuse of sanctions by developing practical, positive strategies of behaviour management. In doing so, you’ll cultivate stronger teacher-pupil relationships and create a classroom where everyone thrives.
What? A self-directed study pack covering the core theme of positive behaviour management, including how to: tailor your language and phrasing; utilise strategies like managed choice and redirection; alter your classroom culture to be more positive, and strengthen teacher-pupil relationships.
Who? Teachers, teaching assistants and leaders wishing to develop staff understanding of positive behaviour management
How long? Depending on how deeply you explore the research, the start of the course should take 1-2 hours. Implementing and embedding this into your practice will take at least several weeks, depending on what you’re planning to change.
When? Start as soon as you’ve downloaded the course or at any time to suit your school demands and workload.
Why? Using positive behaviour management strategies builds a more productive classroom environment. When practitioners model the behaviours they wish to see, they teach pupils what the desired types of behaviour look like therefore reducing the need to manage misbehaviour with sanctions. Pupils also become more self-reflective of their own behaviour and, in time, their social and emotional skills develop so incidents of disruption are less frequent. This leads to a more positive learning space for all (including staff) and better academic outcomes for pupils.

A school self-evaluation form, commonly known by the acronym ‘SEF’, is a tool used by schools to assess their own performance and identify areas for improvement. This form typically includes a series of questions and prompts that guide the school through a process of reflection and self-assessment. The questions may cover a variety of topics, such as curriculum development, pupil achievement, staff development, school culture and climate, and community engagement.
Our self-evaluation template covers the key areas that Ofsted makes judgments on, including Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership and Management and Early Years Foundation Stage. This will enable you to make an overall judgement on your school’s effectiveness.
To make the form more manageable, you could divide it into sections that can be completed in one sitting or split between team members. Remember to note who analysed the document and the last time it was reviewed, along with the version number.

Looking to explore the subject of Citizenship in-depth and build confidence about an upcoming Citizenship Deep Dive? Tailored for Citizenship subject leaders or those with responsibility for personal development, this bundle helps you to consider intent, implementation and impact questions across the breadth of Citizenship, allowing you to consider areas of strength and weakness so you can plan for improvement and (if you feel you need to) prepare for Ofsted.
Included in this pack:
Citizenship Deep Dive and Subject Evaluation Audit - over 100 deep dive questions about Citizenship to ask stakeholders, including senior leaders, subject leaders, teachers and pupils. As Citizenship subject leader or staff member with responsibility for personal development, you can utilise these to reflect on the current picture of Citizenship in your school and explore specific areas further when listening to staff and pupil voice. Many Citizenship leads find it useful to practise them with other leaders to build their own confidence in preparation for a Citizenship Ofsted deep dive or when Ofsted carry out ‘shallow paddles’.
Citizenship Subject Knowledge Question Bank - content-specific questions for Citizenship covering KS3 and KS4. They’re ideal if you’re wanting to explore the finer details of staff members’ Citizenship subject knowledge.
Deep Dive Process Overview - use this to structure your internal deep dive or shallow dive in Citizenship, working through the process of identifying your perceived strengths and weaknesses, observation and questioning, and creating a plan of action.
Deep Dive Evidence Exploration - a handy place to collate all your observation notes when conducting a deep dive, including observing Citizenship lessons or sessions, asking pupils about their learning in Citizenship and looking through any work or evidence.
Whether you have an Ofsted inspection due or not, conducting an internal deep dive can help you to identify your subject’s strengths and weaknesses. Use it as a collaborative process that can support other staff members to develop and use your findings to report back to SLT, governors or trustees as part of your curriculum quality assurance.
This pack is available on our website for £12.50.
