Behaviour CPD - Inappropriate Language

Support staff in tackling inappropriate language in your school with this engaging and thought-provoking CPD session. Ideal for school leaders and those with oversight of behaviour, this PowerPoint allows you to present effective CPD to teachers, teaching assistants and others to look at why pupils use inappropriate language, how staff can prevent it and how best to address it when it does occur. Budget-friendly and flexible, it’s perfect to use in staff meetings or training sessions, saving you hours of prep time.

This 27-slide PowerPoint, designed to last between 30 minutes to 1 hour, is a ready-made CPD session on behaviour management, focusing on the issue of inappropriate language use by pupils. It covers the basics of what inappropriate language is, such as swearing, discriminatory language and gang slang, and looks at the underlying reasons why pupils may use these terms.

The Routes Forward section is split into two parts: how to prevent inappropriate language use by pupils in the first place, and how to address it when it does occur. Going beyond the issue of just swearing, the training session allows you to explore different root causes, such as peer pressure, safeguarding or a simple misunderstanding, and gives practical strategies on how to address bad language in line with your school’s behaviour policy.

The PowerPoint is fully editable but equally can be used ‘as is’ to present directly to the staff members of your choosing. Each slide is carefully crafted to keep staff engaged with prompt questions and considerations for your school. It’s a huge time-saver for school leaders who know they need to address the issues surrounding pupil language use - it allows you to deliver a consistent approach to different staff groups, with the flexiblity built in to dive deeper into specific aspects.
