ECTs - Understanding & Managing Behaviour

Cost:

None: Inclusive for all MAST subscribing schools.

Non-MAST subscribed schools: £125

Event Description

This course will provide ECTs with the knowledge and skills to understand and manage behaviour at a classroom level whilst making links to whole school systemic effective practice. ECTs will be able to work together with an educational psychologist to share good practice and begin to focus on positive ways forward to address behaviour challenges that can occur in schools.

This training aims to form a safe and trusted space for Early Careers Teachers to reflect on the set up of their classroom and the culture and practices they create to support children to engage in positive wanted behaviours. It will use evidence-based practice to reflect on how teachers can manage a variety of off-task and disruptive behaviours in the classroom.

Time will also be given to make links to working collaboratively with parents/carers and supporting class teacher wellbeing/stress.

This course is designed to be delivered over several short sessions to support teachers to embed successful practice, embed it over time and link back to effective ECT mentoring in schools.
