Managing student behaviour in taught sessions
About the session
This session introduces participants to the principles of promoting positive behaviour in the higher education learning environment. It will focus on the underlying causes of misbehaviour and the importance of understanding the social, emotional and behavioural skills of students and ourselves. This will also acknowledge how our own behaviour impacts on students’ behaviour. The session will then highlight the importance of planning for positive behaviour in our teaching sessions, providing information on strategies and practical approaches to handling challenging themes & for the effective management of difficult situations.
