Manage challenging classroom behaviour more easily This DVD helps you understand challenging behaviour in a classroom situation and shows you how to apply this knowledge to develop a calm and confident teacher response.

Using different styles of approach you learn how to:

• adapt your body language and verbal language
• use personal space for best effect
• develop your own self-calming strategies in managing difficult behaviours

Section 1 looks at typical styles of approach and helps you:

• understand the link between emotions and behaviour
• understand how this drives behaviour in different circumstances
• explore instinctive responses and self-calming techniques

Section 2 demonstrates passive and hostile styles of approach and response, including passive verbal and body language, speed of approach, pleading, threatening and giving up.

Section 3 focuses on personal space and moving in - and the effect on both the emotion and the behaviour of teacher and pupil.

You explore:

• how to use social space, personal space and intimate space
• how to use eye contact
• how to gain attention and take an appropriate calm stance when close to a pupil

Section 4 demonstrates the key points to remember for a calm and confident manner, including the concept of ‘muscle memory' - for a natural, automatic teacher response.

Section 5 concludes with a question and answer session with the studio audience, including some key ‘What if' questions.
