Responding Calmly to Manage Behaviour: CPD Training Bundle

This CPD training bundle contains three comprehensive resources:

• A Responding Calmly to Manage Behaviour Training PowerPoint
• Eight behaviour management scenarios with different examples of typical behaviour situations that could challenge staff to remain calm when responding
• A Training Action Plan to support your staff in understanding the theory then taking actions to alter their practice

The 26-slide PowerPoint, designed to last between 30 minutes to 1 hour, is ready-made for you to deliver in a CPD session. It focuses on calm responses as an effective behaviour management strategy that allows staff to reduce behaviour escalation and create a more positive learning environment.

The Routes Forward section where staff can learn different strategies to stay calm when responding to pupil behaviour is split into three parts, covering:

• How staff can evaluate their own natural reactions to difficult situations, and how this can sometimes make responding calmly more difficult
• What support staff can seek, including scripting conversations to plan ahead for common behaviour issues
• How to avoid common pitfalls which lead to behaviour escalating, such as public confrontation between a pupil and staff member

Across the full session, there are many opportunities for staff to collaborate and discuss, including utilising the editable behaviour scenarios on common behaviour situations where staff can share how they'd respond and when they'd escalate to involve others in line with your own behaviour policy. 

The PowerPoint is fully editable but equally can be used 'as is' to present directly to the staff members of your choosing. The flexibility of the design and the length of the course means you can tailor it to support behaviour issues that you're currently facing.

It's an ideal behaviour management course for any staff member experiencing difficulties in remaining calm when managing behaviour, including ECTs, more experienced staff and teaching assistants. The accompanying Training Action Plan can help any staff member to identify their starting point and ways they'll alter their future practice.

This CPD training course is a massive time-saver for school leaders who know they want their staff to implement more effective positive behaviour strategies in the classroom. This CPD for behaviour management does exactly that by giving your staff practical tools and tips for managing their own emotional reactions to challenging student behaviour.
