Effective Behaviour Management in the Classroom

The aim of this course is to support you with behaviour management in a primary or secondary school context. It will also support teachers and teaching assistants who work in other learning spaces for example in Physical Education, Drama or Design and Technology by using approaches that are transferable. By the end of this course, you will understand the core principles of effective behaviour management and understand how to create a positive culture and climate to support learning. In addition, you will develop your approach to behaviour management.

In this module, we will be looking at the core principles of effective behaviour management and why they matter. We will secure our understanding of what effective behaviour management looks like and create a strong foundation to build upon. We will explore the role of high expectations within this and explore some of the practical things that teachers and teaching assistants can do to prevent poor behaviour.

In this module, we will explore what culture and climate look like in an effective classroom, the importance of relationship and how teachers can use their tone of voice alongside non-verbal cues to manage behaviour successfully.

In this module, you will work through a range of practical approaches to managing behaviour and develop your knowledge and skills. You will also have the chance to explore a framework to help you have positive conversations about behaviour with learners.
