T-ITaP: Behaviour Management Course

Course modules

Module One: Building relationships with students
This module focuses on developing effective relationships with students. This is core to creating a positive and productive atmosphere in a classroom, where participation is encouraged, students feel valued, and they understand what is expected of them both in terms of behaviour and work.

Module Two: Behaviour for learning
This module focuses on students developing the right mindset to engage positively with their learning. Underpinning the idea are key relationships that need to be ensured and maintained: relationship with their peers, themselves, their teachers and the curriculum.

Module Three: Managing challenging behaviour
This module focuses on creating the right conditions in the classroom to minimise the risk of problems with behaviour developing in the first place. When, despite this, challenging behaviour does occur, the trainee learns core strategies for dealing with that behaviour calmly and effectively.

Module Four: Whole school approaches to behaviour management
This final module explores the importance of enforcing a whole school behaviour policy, and actively seeking to improve young peoples’ positive engagement with school through positive reinforcement, calling out below standard behaviour, and modelling positive behaviours.
