Effective Classroom Management: Supporting Pupils with Behavioural Difficulties

Course Description

This course is multi-faceted in nature and aims to support teachers with general classroom management as well as developing strategies to support pupils with specific behavioural difficulties. These difficulties include ASD, ADD, ADHD and ODD. Effective classroom management is essential for supporting all pupils in a class but specifically those who have additional behavioural needs. The appropriate setting up of a classroom, routines, rules, and pupil teacher relationships are addressed throughout. Through participating in this course, teachers will be enabled to support all of their pupils, including those with additional needs, in reaching their fullest potential. In this regard, this course will support teachers in developing emotional literacy, emotional regulation and conflict resolution skills in their pupils. This can be achieved in a variety of ways such as through specific social/emotional support programmes, wellbeing development, explicit teaching strategies that focus on emotional development etc. Throughout this course, teachers will identify pro-active teaching strategies for improving classroom management and dealing with challenging behaviours in the classroom. Proactive strategies are an important way of avoiding discipline issues and preventing behaviour problems in the classroom.
