The pack is purposefully designed to be flexible to suit your busy school. You could deliver the training in one slot by utilising the presentation, scenario, quiz and snapshot together.

Split into 11 sections that mirror the digital and technology standards and containing over 50 pages, this editable Word document walks you through what schools should have in place when it comes to ensuring they’ve got a safe, robust and sustainable digital infrastructure. The audit can be used flexibly by working through sections at different points and with different stakeholders.

This will allow you to find out where you currently meet these standards so you can then focus on improving your IT and digital provision in other areas. Part of the standards require schools to have a member of SLT who is the digital technology lead - if your setting does not have one yet, you may wish to start with the sections of digital leadership and governance before moving on to other aspects of the audit, such as laptops, desktops and tablets, and digital accessibility.

This audit will support you by breaking down all of the complex digital and technological requirements into manageable chunks so that you focus on finding our your current position and any further improvements you need to make.

Support staff in how to avoid using group sanctions and collective punishment with this CPD training bundle which focuses on how staff can choose alternative and fairer methods of behaviour management instead. Ideal for behaviour leads, SLT or anyone looking to strengthen staff behaviour management skills, this PowerPoint training session, designed to last for up to an hour, allows for collaboration, discussion and action-planning, and is perfect for INSET days, staff meetings or training sessions dedicated to improving behaviour management. This CPD pack includes a 30-slide PowerPoint designed to last between 30 minutes to 1 hour, this time-saving and ready-to-roll CPD session on avoiding the use of group sanctions is a perfect way to train staff in the different ways they can manage challenging behaviour without collectively punishing or sanctioning pupils who weren’t part of the disruptive behaviour. The session begins with the Mapping section, which outlines how collective group sanctions can erode trust between staff and pupils, damage peer relationship and build resentment (and therefore future potential behaviour issues) among pupils who are unfairly sanctioned for other pupils’ misbehaviour. This is followed by the Routes Forward section, which gives staff practical examples of addressing group behaviour management situations without using collective sanctions through identifying specific behaviours and pupils, using clear and consistent expectations, reinforcing positive behaviour and addressing the root causes of misbehaviour. Presenter training notes are built into the PowerPoint to support you when delivering it to staff. With examples, behaviour management scenarios and thoughtful questions, the training PowerPoint allows for collaboration and sharing between staff members so you can be sure everyone’s on the same page when it comes to knowing the strategies to use to avoid group sanctions. The accompanying Training Action Plan allows staff to identify their start point and mirrors how the training session is laid out, allowing them to create their own bespoke action plan with strategies that address any gaps in their current behaviour management. In addition to this, the ten Behaviour Management Scenarios can be selected from to use in the training session itself or be delivered as a follow-up, allowing staff to show their understanding of the content and apply solutions to real-life scenarios where staff should avoid group sanctions and utilise alternative methods of behaviour management.
