Description:
This training day will look at students with challenging behaviour who are not engaging in learning. On some days these students are impossible to teach and can leave teachers feeling incompetent and frustrated. On these days it often seems like we are ‘firefighting’ and simply reacting to crises. It is important to find ways to get a new insight on these young people and their behaviour, to allow time for reflection and curiosity about what it means.
Topics covered in this on-day training will include:
The day will be interactive and practical.
