Classroom Dynamics- the latest strategies and solutions to positive classroom management in 2025

Many schools are reporting that their students are increasingly prone to distraction and off-task behaviour. This workshop, based on Glen’s book Classroom Dynamics, offers teachers practical strategies for addressing these issues.

Glen Pearsall will explore three key areas across the day:

Low-Level Interventions

  • Non-verbal techniques and low key interventions for nudging students back to their learning quickly and quietly
  • Techniques for getting and holding student attention and engaging reluctant learners
  • Strategies for giving effective instructions and compelling commands – and for making seamless transitions between learning activities.

High-Level Interventions

  • Effective responses for pivoting around resistant or argumentative behaviours and getting students back to their learning.
  • Methods for calmly and directly challenging anti-social behaviour such as misogyny and homophobia
  • Techniques for mapping and responding to entrenched and extreme behaviours

Engagement & Differentiation

  • Engagement techniques for turning around class groups whose behaviour has become distracted and disruptive.
  • Differentiated instruction for supporting students who can’t rather than won’t behaviour

Face to face Participants will also receive a free copy of Glen Pearsall’s Classroom Dynamics (2024) when they attend this workshop.

Just a big Thank you for giving us the opportunity to attend the Critical Agenda Workshop yesterday.  David presented a great program, lots of handy strategies and he was very engaging and supportive. Highly recommended.  I was very happy we did not have to do any Role play’s.
