Challenging pupils sap the morale of teachers and stretch schools resources, as well as undermining the learning opportunities of their peers. Traditional strategies have often been negative and reactive, and lead towards greater disenchantment and disengagement from the education system. However, all children do matter, and very dificult pupils can become highly successful if sound behaviour management techniques are employed. This course is based on clearly defined principles - and provides practical strategies at classroom, playground and whole school levels to help you successfully include more of your challenging learners into mainstream activities.
