Staff Training for Positive Behaviour Management : A Personal Development Programme for Teachers and Support Staff

"We will focus Ofsted inspection more strongly on behaviour and safety, including bullying, as one of four key areas of inspections." (The Importance of Teaching, The Schools White paper, November 2010).

The current coalition government has identified improving student behaviour as a top Ofsted inspection priority.

With this increased pressure on school staff to demonstrate their excellence in the area of student behaviour management it is vital to ensure that your school has appropriate strategies in place in order to meet the proposed new inspection criteria.

It is therefore essential that school staff have access to appropriate training and support in order to ensure that they can be confident in meeting the needs of all young people - including those who present with challenging behaviours.

Staff Training for Positive Behaviour Management is a comprehensive training course which offers teachers a number of techniques and approaches aimed at improving the standards of their pupils' behaviour in the school context.

This practical resource addresses student behaviour issues by reflecting on individual teachers' own classroom behaviour and practice.
