Managing Behaviour

In this module trainees learn about the factors underlying poor behaviour and the importance of proactive behaviour management. The module focuses on building positive relationships and teaches trainees how to understand pupil motivations and use engaging teaching to prevent issues. Trainees also explore strategies for addressing low-level disruption, such as applying school behaviour policies consistently and using rewards and sanctions effectively.

 

This module covers the CCF 'Learn that...' statements:

• 7.1. Establishing and reinforcing routines, including through positive reinforcement, can help create an effective learning environment.
• 7.2. A predictable and secure environment benefits all pupils, but is particularly valuable for pupils with special educational needs.
• 7.3. The ability to self-regulate one’s emotions affects pupils’ ability to learn, success in school and future lives.
• 7.4. Teachers can influence pupils’ resilience and beliefs about their ability to succeed, by ensuring all pupils have the opportunity to experience meaningful success.
• 7.5. Building effective relationships is easier when pupils believe that their feelings will be considered and understood.
• 7.6. Pupils are motivated by intrinsic factors (related to their identity and values) and extrinsic factors (related to reward).
