Understanding misbehaviour and knowing how to change it!
Did you know that there are so many Kiwi kids whose misbehaviour is so extreme that our governments spends about $70 million dollars a year trying to find a cure for it! Why is this so, and why is the problem getting bigger each year? This four part series will help teachers gain insights into why a child misbehaves and what to do to change the misbehaviour into cooperation. Teachers need new awareness and ideas to effectively change problem behaviour.
These workshops (or the one day intensive) present the most up to date research for understanding and changing misbehaviour. The workshops are sequential and on the completion of stage 4 teachers will receive a certification in Child Behavioural Management. This will be a valuable recognition of their professional learning in this important area and add to their value as a teacher.
