‘The name of this workshop says it all – classroom discipline is a process not an event and needs to reflect the new landscape of education. Classroom pedagogy has changed dramatically but behaviour management has remained fairly static.

How do we begin this process of building a model of classroom discipline for early, middle and senior years that is contemporary and effective ? Participants in this webinar will be guided through a range of responses to key questions including – What are the best philosophies or approaches to use ? Who are the most effective & relevant authors and researchers to take notice of ? How long does it take to establish a classroom discipline model ? Do I need to start again or am I already doing a lot of things well ? and How will I know if it is working ? Participants will examine and apply the most important management and discipline approaches, from Redl, Wattenberg, Skinner and Glasser through to Jones, Kagan, Cook, Sagai, Zehr and others and take away a ready to use 4R’s model of behaviour management for their classroom’.

The second overlooked issue is that writing and teaching writing are two different skillsets. What students do in the writing classroom – from whatever your subject area – is a holistic practice which takes into account the location, understanding, selection [and selection is the super power of writing !], organisation and expression of their learning’.
