I used this presentation at the start of term to encourage staff members to reflect upon personal practice, as well as reflecting on the ethos we would all like to create in our classroom. The Promise Postcard idea worked really well, and after one term I placed the postcards in staff pigeon holes where they reflected on whether they had achieved their own personal target. It can be used for Autumn and Summer term as well by changing the text.

This staff CPD session focuses on the importance of role modelling to ensure a positive and calm environment can be achieved. Staff will be asked some thought provoking questions where they will need to reflect upon their own practice. This CPD is about self-reflection. There are also some activities that staff will be able to work through. Resources are included.

This staff CPD resource looks at how non-verbal behaviour management strategies can be used to promote positive behaviour and avoid confrontation. The CPD looks at how red, amber and green cards can be used within a lesson, as well as how routine can be a great behaviour management tool when your routines are established. Staff will be asked to create an action plan based on the ideas from the workshop where they focus on one class. There are also reminder cards included as to how red, amber, green cards could be used to achieve a whole staff consistent approach. These can be adaped to suit your setting.

This CPD focuses on areas of managing behaviour for positive outcomes from a teaching and learning perspective. The focus areas are: the environment, engagement, differentiation and rewards. There is a worksheet that each member of staff can have to record ideas, and at the end of the workshop each member of staff would complete a promise postcard where they promise to try one of the ideas. These postcards will be collected at the end of the workshop, and returned to staff at the end of the term so they can evaluate their personal progress and review impact.
