Staff and School Development

training and support

Learn how to effectively identify concerns and problems predictably and set in place durable interventions!

Ben provides a teacher-first intervention that looks at how teachers -

· View behaviour and why it happens

· Identify why they find challenging behaviours challenging

· Develop an understanding of the neurobiological factors that influence students and adults

· Develop self-led skills to regulate and then intervene in challenging behaviours WITH students

In developing these skills, teachers learn to

· Shift their mindset about behaviour towards a skill-based model

· Identify predictable behaviours

· Intervene effectively in predictable behaviours

· Develop skills WITH students

· Plan for failure and see it as another step towards a solution

· Document and plan for effective progression of skill development for reporting and accountability requirements

· Stress less about challenging behaviours and have a plan to work with not only students but all people!

In using these tools, students develop

· Internal regulation skills

· Self-advocacy skills

· Trust in adults to support them in solving problems

· Problem-solving skills

· Infinite solutions to the world’s infinite problems

· The language of problem solving
