This course has been developed in conjunction with practising teachers and professionals working with at risk youth. The course offers an opportunity for teachers and professionals working in a non-school context to further develop their skills, knowledge and professional networks in behaviour management. The course is practical and focuses on developing skills in working with young people, especially those presenting difficult behaviour, with a view to supporting them on pathways to responsible behaviour. It offers in-service teachers and those working with youth, an opportunity to critically assess current trends in classroom management, challenge personal and system-wide assumptions about student behaviour, as well as enhance skills in dealing with challenging behaviours.
This course information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester.
