Who is this Course For?
This course is designed for Teachers and Senior Leaders in education who are committed to creating a progressive, inclusive behaviour policy that benefit all members of the school community.
Why This Course Matters
In the last 30 years, our understanding of how the brain operates has dramatically improved. Evidence now shows that traditional school behavior policies often fail to align with our current knowledge of the brain’s structure and function. Unfortunately, these outdated policies can unintentionally discriminate against neurodiverse learners and those who have experienced trauma, sometimes causing significant psychological harm.
