The course will also look at ways of improving motivation & engagement through creating positive learning environments.

Active Listening: People Management

Pastoral Care and Behaviour
Active listening is a powerful tool. It involves accurate perception and memory. However this is not enough to interpret meaning which relies on the more subtle interaction of verbal and non verbal communication. This course is crucial if you are to appreciate what people really mean. You will then be able to use that knowledge and understanding to help them and yourself to realise your full potential. There are differences between listening and active listening. Active listening requires self awareness and acceptance.

This course offers you a variety of successful strategies to raise personal self-esteem and to tackle aggressive behaviours directed towards you.

Behaviour - Meeting the Additional Needs of EBD Learners in Further Education

Learners who have learning disabilities, mental health difficulties, ODD, EBD, ADHD, and other conditions, temporary or otherwise, can often present as challenging behaviour and so limit the learners' ability to access traditional educational streams.

Children in Crisis

Pastoral Care and Behaviour
Children growing up in the twenty first century face critical situations which seriously threaten their mental and physical well being. Bereavement, divorce, war, domestic violence, terrorism, bullying and neglect are only some of the factors that impact on children's lives. When we recgnise the power of such events to influence feelings, behavior and academic performance we are better equipped to help and support pupils through critical incidents in their lives.

Coping with Loss Situations

Pastoral Care and Behaviour
Young people encounter many situations where loss is involved from changing cirumstances, a breakdown in their own or parent's relationships, periods of low self-esteem to personal bereavement. Often their capacity to cope, with appropriate help, is not acknowledged. This course, based on work with young people of all ages and with adults who care for young people in different capacities, aims to provide a structure by which young people can develop their coping skills.
