Improving Behaviour: Building Positive Classrooms
Proactive routines, strong relationships and consistent systems — evidence-informed behaviour for Bangladeshi classrooms.
Misbehaviour drains energy and costs learning time. Behaviour is not just about rules — it’s about relationships and routines. Built on the Education Endowment Foundation’s behaviour guidance, this course takes a proactive approach: understand your pupils, teach learning behaviours, and create consistent systems that work for everyone.
What to expect
One-day workshop
Examine six evidence-based recommendations: know your pupils; teach learning behaviours; use classroom-management strategies; embed simple routines; use targeted interventions; and ensure consistency. Practise practical routines such as meet-and-greet and maintaining a 5:1 positive-to-negative interaction ratio.
20-hours online learning
Audit current practice, design proactive routines, and explore targeted interventions for pupils with additional needs. Build a plan to implement whole-school consistency and a positive culture.
Key questions
- How well do you understand the influences behind your pupils’ behaviour?
- Are your routines proactive in teaching learning behaviours, or do they only react to misbehaviour?
- Could simple, consistent strategies reduce disruptions and free up time for teaching?
How this course will change practice
Focusing on relationships, routines and the explicit teaching of learning behaviours helps classrooms run smoothly. By implementing evidence-based strategies — from supportive relationships to targeted interventions — you’ll reduce disruptions, improve engagement and create a calm environment where all pupils learn. Consistency across the school makes expectations clear and fair, benefiting staff and students alike.
