This practical discussion with Sec Ed’s Pete Henshaw looks at how we can deal with and prevent challenging behaviour in our classrooms. We discuss what challenging behaviour looks like, when it occurs and handling incidents.
We ask how we can create safety, boundaries and routines for vulnerable young people, including seating plans.
We discuss how teachers can “see the child, not the behaviour”, including issues of punishment, shame, and “checking in” with students.
We look at the communication of unmet needs, how to “teach” behaviour and self-regulation, connection before correction, and building relationships with our most vulnerable students (including the PACE approach).
All of this is broken up with some of mine and yours hilarious #insultsoftheweek
