Effective Behaviour Management in the Classroom

Brief overview

Creating a positive and inclusive class environment is the key to effective behaviour management. This session will explore strategies to celebrate positive behaviour and look at approaches to support children when there is negative behaviour.

The session is for Primary and Secondary Teachers in the early stages of their career. Specifically - ECTs and teachers up to 5 years from completing induction. We also welcome Teaching Assistants, at any stage in their career, to the session.

Katie has over 15 years senior leadership experience and has a background of working in primary schools for over 20 years. She is a trained SENCO and most recently undertook the role of headship in a school with a high level of SEND, PPG, EAL and challenging behaviour and successfully led rapid school improvement results. Katie has improved the outcomes for numerous pupils – particularly SEND learners, in a number of previous schools she has worked with and supported.

Feedback received from a previous session:

• The whole session was incredibly helpful - very informative, clear, and engaging. Working examples of how to deal with different levels of behaviour with suitably lengthened sessions (i.e. not too long!) to discuss with other teachers.
• Behaviour strategies, dealing with challenging behaviour before it escalates. I have taken lots of strategies away from the training and I will be using the one-to-one pupil meeting in my practice to help children in my class voice their opinions on how I as a teacher can help them with their emotions and feelings. 
• Having 1:1 conversation with the moderator, to discuss personal issues and challenges. Speaking with other teachers at my table to hear their strategies and how they have overcome challenges.
• Multiple strategies and sharing ideas.
• It gave lots of ideas and helpful books to read to support behaviour management.
