Behaviour! As teachers, you have to deal with a variety of student behaviours on a daily basis. You can have the perfect lesson plans, great organisation, and even the best resources, but if you have one or more behaviour issues in your classroom; the classroom's entire rhythm can be thrown into disarray. Understanding the communicative intent of behaviour changes the lens from which you view behaviour and how to deal with it in your classroom. This course explores the language of behaviour and provides strategies to assist teachers to understand that behaviour and make the necessary adjustments to prevent challenging behaviours, but will also provide strategies to assist students to understand their own behaviour so that they may choose to make more appropriate choices.
