How to Deal with Challenging Behaviour with Expert Training and Coaching

Truancy, disciplinary measures, safeguarding and staff retention are some of the issues associated with challenging behaviour in schools.

According to an Ofsted report, “pupils’ and students’ behaviour, such as low-level disruption in the classroom, absenteeism, intimidation or verbal abuse is often a negative influence on teachers’ wellbeing at work and will also impact on learning.”

Understanding the triggers behind challenging student behaviour and how to effectively address them enables teachers to deal with incidents with complete confidence.

The Back on Track Teens ‘How to Deal with Challenging Behaviour’ programme can support your teachers and the wider school community to achieve this.

Identify the signs of unmet needs that manifest in challenging behaviour

‘Dealing with Challenging Behaviour’ Programme Content

‘Dealing with Challenging Behaviour’ is a hands-on programme focusing on trauma-informed practice within education.

The content explores societal, cultural, religious, family and childhood development circumstances. These conditions and, often hidden, underlying issues may contribute to outwardly expressing negative behaviours in the school environment.

Challenging behaviours are usually outward symptoms of unmet needs. Programme participants will learn various interactive tools and techniques to support young people facing troubles at home, peer pressure, bullying or experiencing a self-identity crisis.

I have just received a fantastic report from Matthew’s science teacher.

I just wanted to thank you, it is since he has seen you that his attitude has matured and he has become an independent learner, who wants to succeed at school and do well in his subjects.

Thank you again.
