Information:
This five-day course looks at the possible purposes and/or cause of behaviour, which prevent active participation and engagement with the learning process. This is a practical experiential course, focusing on relationships between adults and students in understanding and managing behaviour. A consistent strand throughout the course will be the acquisition and practice of active listening and solution-focused skills.
The course covers five key themes which will be viewed from both adult and student perspectives.
Developing self-esteem
Setting limits on behaviour
Managing feelings
Problem solving
The value of the relationship
Course participants will have the opportunity,as an optional task, to build a portfolio of evidence of their skills. Time will be allowed for individual support for this task if required. Lydia works as a therapeutic counsellor/psychotherapist as well as teaching part time in the Learning Support Department at Vermuyden School. Please note that there are 15 places available and that this is a re-run of the course held in the Spring Term 2005.
Objectives: On completion, participants will be able to:
  • Contribute to the understanding and management of student behaviour.
  • Help promote emotional literacy and social inclusion in the learning context.
  • Contribute their skills to an effective team strategy.
  • Recognise and value their personal skills.
  • Identify and access sources of support.
