Teachers have been trained to manage disruptive student behaviours in their classrooms, but how teachers have been taught to manage disruptions is actually counter intuitive to the flow of learning.

This full day, face-to-face workshop:

• provides participants with current Australian research about classroom disruption;

• links this theory with real classroom examples; and

• goes on to cover a simple three step process which will help increase curriculum time while significantly reducing, if not eliminating, student disruptions.

Learning Objectives

Participants will leave this workshop with:

• An in depth understanding of the mental models and perceptions that many teachers have of what classrooms should look like;

• an understanding of current Australian research on classroom management, and the ability to apply this knowledge within a classroom and/or school setting;

• an evidence-based three step process to reduce student disruption that can be implemented immediately in classrooms.

Perfect for

This workshop is perfect for both individuals seeking to improve their practice, and whole of staff professional learning days.

It is relevant to all staff members including school leaders, teachers, teacher aides and office staff.
