Conference Programme
Hear from leading behaviour expert Dr Bill Rogers and take back to school successful strategies for effectively managing and overcoming difficult behaviour in the classroom. From establishing one’s authority with a new class through to tackling pupils who act as ring-leaders for disruptive behaviour, this one-day conference will provide practical guidance for overcoming the bad and championing positive behaviour.

The programme will specifically address:
• Common reasons why a class becomes hard to manage
• Identifying a hard class and setting up workable support plans
• Targeting power-brokers and children who act as ring-leaders
• Tackling bad language and lack of respect
• Developing class behaviour agreements
• Modelling good behaviour

Keynote Speaker
