Course Description
Classroom behaviour can range from mildly distracting to highly disruptive, and knowing how to respond makes all the difference. In this practical course, presenters Glen Pearsall and Miles Campbell share strategies and real-world examples for addressing a wide spectrum of behaviours — from low-level off-task moments to argumentative and high-level challenges.
Teachers will also have the chance to practise their responses with AI chatbot students — such as Aanya the Distractible, Demand Avoidant Kevin, and their friends — who recreate common classroom personalities in realistic scenarios. This interactive approach provides a safe space to test strategies, reflect on choices, and build confidence in managing behaviour effectively.
By combining expert guidance with hands-on practice, this course equips teachers to foster calm, positive, and productive learning environments.
