We all know the huge part positive relationships play in the teacher’s ability to get the most from pupils but where does that leave supply teachers? When you meet a group for the first time you can’t possibly develop connections with them in the space of one lesson, right? Wrong.
This course focuses on building instant rapport together with the strategies you can implement to get the group on your side from the outset and once you’ve got their attention and created some group cohesion, behaviour issues are significantly reduced. You’ll also learn highly effective de-escalation and diffusion strategies to enable you to respond proactively to challenging individuals and groups ensuring you enter every new classroom brimming with confidence.
In addition, attendees on this course receive a free CD filled with teaching activities, starters, fill-ins and resources for cover lessons together with our guide ‘The Supply Teacher’s Survival Kit’.

"In a series of amusing, creative, fast-paced sections, Rob Plevin builds up a staggering amount of practical and thought provoking material on classroom behaviour management."
