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. Our website offers this and so much more.
