SUMMARY:Team Teach Positive Behaviour Management Level Two - 12 hour training for medium/high risk settings - Day 1
DESCRIPTION:Positive Behaviour Management Level Two is a two-day course designed to deliver proven\, safe strategies for anyone managing challenging behaviour in medium-risk settings. It provides an understanding of the causes of challenging behaviour\, along with respectful\, supportive and practical strategies for de-escalation and crisis intervention. All techniques that we teach are situated within an approach to behaviour management which seeks to minimise the need for physical intervention and maintain positive relationships. \nAimed at individuals who support people with documented special needs or challenging behaviours\, and who may pose a risk to themselves or others\, the course will provide a thorough grounding in practical behaviour management strategies. It will equip individuals with a sophisticated understanding of challenging behaviour\, and the social and legal context around its management. It will cover strategies of personal safety\, team work and de-escalation\, as well as teaching effective positive handling techniques: these include guiding\, escorting and safe holding in various positions. \nFor more information download the flyer here \nBook online\n

SUMMARY:Leading assessment\, moderation and tracking in primary science - Day Two
DESCRIPTION:This course is ideal for teachers who want to gain a greater understanding of the current expectations around assessment and children’s progress in science. \nIt can be taken as a two-day course\, or day 1 as a standalone day. \nDay 1: Where are we now? A national update on the current picture of assessment. A look at in-school formative assessment and what this looks like in terms of science. A consideration of how TAPS can support a formative assessment approach culminating in summative judgements being made. \nDay 2: an in-depth focus on in-school summative assessment and how the PLAN materials can support making summative judgements. How the teacher assessment frameworks needs to be a whole school issue and how to moderate work to ensure the reliability of judgments. A look at nationally standardised summative assessments and how these can be used formatively in the classroom. \nA two-day course: 13 February & 2 March 2020. \nSubject Leader & Assessment Flyer \nCost: £190.00 \nBook now at www.stem.org.uk/rp198
