Classroom Behaviour

Classroom Behaviour

About the Classroom Behaviour Certificate

Pupil behaviour in school is possibly one of the most difficult parts of being a teacher. This course is there to assist people dedicated to teaching spending more time doing just that.

Along theories in challenging behaviour and the latest research in child and class conduct this course also offers practical behaviour management strategies such as creating positive learning environments. It will enable you to model behaviour through rewards, structure and consistency. In the final stage you will understand more about managing conflict and confrontation.

Who should study this course?

A classroom behaviour course would benefit anyone working with children. If you find yourself managing a child or an entire classroom more than teaching, then this is a class for you. Perhaps one of the key skills for a teacher, a teaching assistant or lecturer is to keep the class under control.

This course does not require any previous experience or qualifications. All you need is an interest in child behaviour and classroom management and the motivation to engage in home study.
