I thought I’d share some recent feedback from some of the courses and INSET sessions we ran throughout 2009 in the UK and abroad. We will be running EVEN BETTER sessions during 2010 and we’ll be posting full details of fantastic new courses very soon. Places go VERY FAST so please keep checking the blog and the course schedule on our website at www.behaviourneeds.com

In the meantime, here are some comments from people who have laughed and learned with us on our behavior management courses over the last twelve months…

Rob Plevin has delivered his Needs Focused Behaviour Management course on our Secondary PGCE at the University of Hull for three years now and each year my trainees have not only found him to be inspirational, but they have learnt much about managing the learning environment and young people effectively.  Rob’s course is based on the value of building relationships, but trainees can emulate Rob since he models to the highest degree how to behave as a teacher.  The course is fun, well constructed and as the title suggests, very focused on positive strategies.  Rob is a personal inspiration, but experienced, effective teachers will recognise the veracity of his approach.”

Dr Anne Bore

Programme Director, Secondary ITE, University of Hull

The Needs Focused behaviour management workshops in support of teacher training in Northern Ireland have been very well received and the ideas, strategies and routines shared with our teachers have led to improved classroom practice.  This has been validated by both inspections at the University and observations of classroom management for teachers.  We thank you for all your hard work and thoughtful teaching.

Celia O’Hagan, Course Director, School of Education, University of Ulster

Thank you for such an inspiring and motivating day – you’ve quite possibly saved my career!

I thought this was a most useful course. I felt the practical suggestions were those which could be adapted for many situations and I particularly liked the emphasis given to respect for the pupils and re-modeling.

Loved the magic tricks – really made the topic come alive!

The strategies were fantastic and have made me better at my job. This should be a whole school strategy! Thank you.

I was at your seminar today and want to tell you that all of us in our group thought it was the best information session we have ever been at and we have a lot of years between us!

Thank you so much.

We were delighted to be able to get Rob Plevin in to work with our Teach First participants. He has an excellent reputation within the sector and he certainly didn’t disappoint!

From the start his dynamic approach captivated the group and they were enthralled throughout. It wasn’t only the lively engaging style that won over the participants though. Rob was dealing with crucial issues relating to behaviour management that were high on their list of concerns about entering teaching in some of the most challenging schools in the country

He covered these issues thoroughly without pulling any punches and still worked wonders in increasing the participants’ confidence. We will be inviting Rob back on every possible occasion to work with all of our participants and trainees. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you want to watch someone in complete control of his topic area and audience then get him in. He makes a real difference.”

Sheffield Hallam University

I wrote to say ‘thank you’ for an interesting, informative, very useful and FUN day. I’ve never know us come away from a course, feeling sorry for the people who hadn’t attended! It was the topic of conversation both, yesterday and today.

Moe Kelly, St Helen’s College

…and on that note, we hope to see YOU for an interesting, informative and FUN day on a live course during 2010.
