This CPD training bundle contains three comprehensive resources:

  • A Tackling Inappropriate Language Use Training PowerPoint
  • Ten behaviour management scenarios with different examples of inappropriate language use in school with suggestions for how to tackle them
  • A Training Action Plan to support your staff in understanding the theory then taking actions to alter their practice

The 28-slide, ready-made CPD PowerPoint is designed to last between 30 minutes to 1 hour and focuses on the behaviour management issue of inappropriate language use by pupils. It covers the basics of what inappropriate language is, such as swearing, discriminatory language and gang slang, and looks at the underlying reasons why pupils may use these terms. 

The Routes Forward section is split into two parts: how to prevent inappropriate language use by pupils in the first place, and how to address it when it does occur. Going beyond the issue of just swearing, the training session allows you to explore different root causes, such as peer pressure, safeguarding or a simple misunderstanding, and gives practical strategies on how to address bad language in line with your school's behaviour policy.

This behaviour management CPD session is designed to provide a quick solution for school leaders looking to train staff with behaviour support strategies to tackle swearing and other forms of inappropriate language use in the classroom. It's particularly useful for staff with less experience in behaviour management, such as ECTs, trainee teachers, teaching assistants, learning support assistants or any other staff members who need some extra support in managing behaviour.

The PowerPoint and the accompanying Word templates are 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 session means you can tailor it to support behaviour issues that you're currently facing as well as delivering it at a time convenient to you and your school.

Headteachers, senior leaders, SLT, pastoral staff, DSLs, heads of year or anyone else with responsibility for pupil behaviour in school. This CPD session PowerPoint is designed to provide an instant solution for school leaders looking to tackle behaviour management issues in their school with a quick and easy answer to CPD delivery.

The session is perfect to reinforce messages about your school's behaviour policy, pupil conduct expectations and how you want your team to address swearing and inappropriate language use. It's particularly useful for those with less experience in behaviour management, such as ECTs, trainee teachers, teaching assistants, learning support assistants or other new staff who aren't fully familiar with your school's rules and routines yet. 

When pupils use inappropriate language, not only is it disruptive to learning, but also it means they move through the school system with a misunderstanding about the appropriate use of language in school, their community and the wider world around them. Pupils need to be clear on the expectations of their language use but this CPD session also provides staff with an opportunity to explore what might be causing it beyond a simple slip-up or the desire to look good in front of their peers.  

Key questions answered:

  • What is inappropriate language?
  • When should inappropriate language be addressed?
