About This Course
Managing a busy classroom is both joyful and challenging. The unique mix of personalities, behaviours, and emotions in every classroom can put pressure on school staff to give each child the individual, tailored support they need every moment. This sounds ideal but isn't practical or possible. This full day of professional learning presents evidence-based, whole-class strategies that can be used to support the behaviour of every child and reduce the burden on staff. Using positive, pro-active techniques, you will learn how to create a classroom ethos that supports positive behaviours for everyone.
Who is this course suitable for:
This course is designed for teachers, teaching assistants, school leaders and school support staff.
Why study this course:
This course will support you to develop strategies for managing behaviour without burning out. It explains how we can support every child using evidence-based, whole-class strategies that help to prevent problems before they escalate, establish safe and predictable classroom environments, and equip you with techniques that reduce the need for constant individual intervention. The course will help you to build a positive classroom ethos and strengthen relationships to allow students to feel calmer, more confident, and be more engaged.
How long does this course take to complete:
This is a one day course at Bangor University and will run between 9am and 4pm
