Description
This course explores various types of challenging behaviour seen across different age ranges, from early years children through to adolescents. Teachers will learn the typical root causes of disengaged, disruptive and unacceptable behaviours; both observable and hidden and learn how to recognise some common triggers. The aim of this course is to give educators an awareness of child development and the opportunity to begin to think about how an understanding of how children and young people develop impacts on practice. There are two modules, namely Understanding Behaviour and Understanding Child Development.
Module One: Understanding Behaviour
This course is intended for all children’s workforce practitioners, i.e. all staff who work with children, young people and their families. Participants will learn the typical root causes of disengaged, disruptive, and unacceptable behaviours both observable and hidden and learn how to recognise some common triggers. And they will feel equipped to respond to and manage unwanted behaviours after learning about the behaviour modification techniques and methods set out in this module.
Module Two: Understanding Child Development
The aim of this module is to give learners an awareness of child development and the opportunity to begin to think about how an understanding of how children and young people develop impacts on practice. This module is intended for all children’s workforce practitioners, i.e. all staff who work with children, young people and their families.
Although this module forms part of an induction programme for new starters, it is also intended for all practitioners who want to improve their knowledge and continue their professional development.
