Behaviour Strategies and Skills
For beginning teachers and those who may face exceptionally challenging classes -
These workshops focus on acquiring essential strategies and skills to cope with the challenges of managing students for best and most effective teaching and learning.
NOTE: Often within a school there may be an increased number of graduate teachers and these workshops cater for the classroom management needs of less experienced but able teachers.

These workshops are designed to complement the school's previous skills training and serve to perpetuate and strengthen those skills. (Which makes the original expenditure on training very cost effective.)
In addition, these teams are a regular venue where teachers can bring their own student behaviour problems for discussion and advice.
