Are you trying to support...
Kids who are explosive, 'lose it' for no reason...
...or don't seem capable of learning to regulate their emotions (despite your best efforts)?
A 'hard class', filled with students who constantly argue...
...and you feel like you spend all day putting out fires (instead of actually teaching)?
Pupils with high-level behavioural special needs...
...who are 'stuck', don't respond to your school's behaviour system and aren't making any progress (emotionally or behaviourally)?
Persistently challenging behaviour - day in, day out - isn't just draining. It's unhealthy. For you. For the student with behaviour needs. And for the rest of the class as well.
But here's the real tragedy.
None of these behaviour problems are 'new'.
The solutions to most of these issues have already been found... and with some small (but powerful) changes, you could quickly get classroom behaviour back on track.
Sounds impossible? Here's the good news
If you've completed your teacher training - and you can already stand in front of a classroom and speak to a group of students - you already have all the qualities you need to improve behaviour in your classroom.
You just need to know which strategies and teaching approaches to use (and, equally importantly, which to avoid!)
Strategies you can start using immediately and that will make a difference in the vast majority of cases.
(Honesty time: they won't work for every student, 100% of the time, because a very small percentage of students have such severe mental health issues or child protection issues. But even in these cases, the right strategies, used consistently, will lead to improvement.)
So what's the fastest way of learning these strategies?
Answer: Practical advice from experts who've helped hundreds of teachers, just like you, resolve behaviour problems successfully. Experts who've spent years teaching kids with significant behaviour needs.
Don't allow any more precious teaching time to go to waste. It's time to leverage expert strategies that have already been proven to work for other teachers.
