MANAGING DIFFICULT AND AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR IN THE SCHOOL USING LOW AROUSAL APPROACHES
Wednesday 22nd November 06
Manchester - Details to follow
Developing a whole school approach to managing challenging behaviours
For staff working in mainstream education.
The course: “Managing Difficult and Aggressive Behaviour in the School using low arousal approaches,†developed in conjunction with a major teaching union, aims to provide teaching and non-teaching staff with a better understanding of how to cope with violence and aggression in mainstream education.
The course is presented in two modules over one day.
Module one considers challenging behaviour in schools from a number of contrasting perspectives. Participants will compare and contrast a number of different management strategies including school policy based approaches, behaviour management rather than behaviour change, the non-physical management of threatening situations presented by both groups and individuals, moving pupils round school out of the classroom and dealing with incidents of attack on teachers.
Module two considers the practical implications of low arousal and early intervention strategies in the management of challenging behaviours through the use of practical interventions, participant feedback and role play. Participants are also introduced to the most current legislation covering challenging behaviour in schools. They will consider the pro’s and cons of non-physical and physical intervention skills should they be considering training staff in physical restraint to manage challenging pupils.
Studio III’s own philosophy is based on early intervention and a low arousal approach to dealing with challenging behaviours in schools supported by robust and workable whole school approaches. Research shows that early low-key interventions are highly successful in reducing the chance of confrontational situations escalating into violence and aggression. Within a school, a low arousal approach would commit us to managing challenging behaviours with a minimal breakdown in trust between staff and pupils, whilst ensuring that staff facing challenging behaviours maintain high levels of personal safety, yet still operate completely within the law and the policies of their own school.
