Behaviour Management

Discover evidence-based approaches to creating a learning focused environment that minimises the disruption of problem behaviours.

This course focuses on how teachers can facilitate students’ self-regulation of their own behaviour.

Throughout the course, you will find a range of resources, strategies, and further readings to enable you to adapt your approach to behaviour management to meet your students’ needs.

Course Content

Lesson One: Introduction
This introductory lesson provides an overview of behaviour management including what behaviour management is, why we manage students’ behaviour and how we can evaluate the effectiveness of our behaviour management techniques.

Lesson Two: Common Approaches to Behaviour Management
This lesson looks at some of the most often used approaches to managing student behaviour including rewards, consequences, building positive relationships, and building students’ capacity to manage their own behaviour.

Lesson Three: Problematic Behaviours
Lesson Three examines the different types of problematic behaviours teachers see in class, including their likely causes and consequences.

Lesson Six: Maintaining a Learning Focused Environment
This lesson offers a deeper exploration of the strategies suggested in Lesson Five, with a focus on how these strategies can be integrated into your daily classroom practice and how you might alter teaching strategies to suit your students’ needs.

Teacher Feedback

I liked the way the course was structured in providing me with many concepts, strategies and resources to motivate students to manage their own behaviour.

(S.L. 27/2/2023)

I loved the numerous real life examples of what to do when the child responds with an outright ‘no’ and also I found the videos and resources very valuable

(K.M. 15/1/2023)

This course was very useful to understand the emotional needs of the student as also to learn relevant strategies to help get the best outcome.

(S.M. 13/12/2022)

I liked the way that it progressed from what is common to what is effective, The whole concept of a restorative classroom is perfect and makes sense. Great examples and a good list of resources.

(T.R. 28/12/2022)

It had lots of new information I wasn’t aware of, such as detailing the importance of understanding trauma and creating a responsive classroom rather than a reactive classroom.

(K.C. 30/10/2022)

I liked how there was always examples that I could relate to. The examples made the readings make sense and they were what we see in the classroom often. I enjoyed the reflections as we went as well as it gave me an opportunity to stop and think of my own experiences and how I could do better. I loved reading about the challenging children and understanding that it is out of their control often but that I can have a positive role to play in guiding them to make different choices when the situation arises again. I also liked that I could do this online and at my own pace. It took away the stress and anxiety about having to be infront of a computer at a set time.

(S.L. 30/1/21)

This course flows well and is easy to follow. The information provided is incredibly helpful…as it gives examples on how to manage particular behaviours and gives clear definitions of terms.

(T.A.T. 11/1/2017)

I liked how easy to understand it is. I also like the fact that we were given many resources to assist us and that the content was mostly focused on working in Australian schools.

(A.C. 16/4/21)

I valued the fact that this course explored practical alternative methods of managing behaviour which at their core aim to build long-term self-management skills and behaviours in student

(N.W. 28/12/2022)

The course had a lot of alternating materials and resources and provided a lot of references to further explore the content. It was also really easy to follow and I enjoyed how it referenced back to the other lessons. It gave me some really useful tips. (K.W. 21/12/2022)

We did it in a small group of four at school. We were able to discuss and evaluate current practices in our school and within our classes.

(C.K. 8/11/2021)

The whole course is set out so clearly with plenty of information action and reflection activities. Have enjoyed this course as I did the others.

(R.S. 12/7/2022)

Clear, concise and well written modules that were easy to understand and take notes. (S.D. 11/5/2022)

I liked the way the sequence of the course was delivered; the structure provided me with a strong foundation of the concepts/processes of managing behaviour underpinned by research before moving onto learning how to actually create and maintain a learning focused environment where students learn how to self regulate behaviour rather teachers directing and using a reward system. This course has transformed my thinking and I feel confident to share the strategies and processes of managing behaviours with my team. Furthermore, I am excited about guiding and supporting students in learning how to self-regulate their own behaviour by teaching them positive strategies and skills.
