Creating Positive & Respectful Classroom Environments

Classroom and behaviour management are becoming increasingly complex as schools and people evolve over time, not to mention the two years of interrupted teaching and learning during the pandemic.  It is one of the top reasons staff leave the profession and can be a reason why students find it difficult to attend school.  Staff and students have a right to feel safe and respected at school but the current discourse of going back to ‘old school discipline’ methods ignores current neuro-biological science and will only make matters worse.

This workshop will cover:

  • Methods for co-constructing classroom expectations and establishing norms
  • Routines for calm, constructive classrooms
  • The neuro-science behind behaviour and misbehaviour
  • Relational methods for managing unexpected and harmful behaviour that encourage accountability
