Course Description

Student management can be one of the most challenging aspects of teaching. What is clear is that consistent and fair practices produce the best responses, especially when paired with specific techniques to build positive relationships. Part of this session will assist you to determine and set up clear and fair processes for yourself (in your classroom) and perhaps also for teams of teachers that you work with.

There are also occasions where students do not respond to clear and consistent practices. On these occasions, it can be easy to become frustrated or to question our own abilities. The information presented in this session will attempt to help you understand where some of these behaviours may be coming from and how to deal with them.

We will use a problem-based learning approach in this session to look at where we are in terms of student management, and what we need to do to get to where we want to go. With this approach results will be based on YOUR needs and your class.

Audience

Classroom teachers in secondary schools.

"This course gave me strategies that I cannot wait to use in my classroom."

- Dania Maussa, Australian Islamic College of Sydney


"I can recommend this course to any teacher faced with challenging behaviours in the classroom and who need some immediate strategies to address the issues. This course is more than theory. It contains genuine scenarios and practical advice that works."

- Patrick Donnelly, Pacific Coast Christian School


"I have been teaching over 25 years. However, I found this course useful in fine-tuning how I use behaviour management in the classroom. I was encouraged to reflect on current strategies and expectations. By creating steps to follow, teachers are able to understand exactly what steps they will follow during the behaviour management process."

- Katherine Mitchell, Learning Support Teacher

Lauren Cook

Lauren Cook can’t remember a time when she didn’t want to teach. From the beginning of her career in 2001, she strove to understand what was at the basis of good teaching and learning. Lauren spent many of her early years of teaching in brand new schools, where the exploration of best practice was at the forefront. She undertook a variety of leadership roles from curriculum to professional learning to student management. She also joined the Faculty of Education at Deakin University to work with pre-service teachers.  In 2010, Lauren became an Assistant Principal but missed her role in the classroom. She now wants to focus more on teaching and learning, and contributing to developing professional networks of teachers committed to best practice. She is Deputy Head of Wellbeing and Head of Boys at St Margaret's and Berwick Grammar School in Victoria
