positive BEHAVIOUR management

FUN INSPIRING PRACTICAL INFORMATIVE

Our seminars are different. We provide you with practical, whole school and individual behaviour management strategies that link positive psychology with emotional education to enable schools to create consistent, predictable, nurturing and high expectation cultures.

These strategies and skills can be applied to all students – special education, mainstream, primary and secondary.

Adults can personally benefit too!

We also offer a personally tailored consultancy service to schools that are experiencing issues (from mild to “help get me outta here”) with students’ behaviour or are just wishing to fine tune their behaviour management practices.

We make a positive difference to the lives of children, their parents and teachers.

My signature course, Positive Behaviour Management (sometimes called Taming the Behaviour Monster), was NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) accredited. However ALL NESA courses were cancelled in 2020 pending a review of all professional learning (PL) providers. My average mark from the over 1400 people who attended the course, while it was NESA registered, is 4.54 out of 5.

In the meantime, completing Positive Behaviour Management will contribute 5 hours and 30 minutes of teacher identified PL addressing standards 4.1.2, 4.2.2, 4.3.2 and 4.4.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW.

My next event is in Kiama, NSW. Please note, this is the ONLY seminar I will be running this year.

“My trips with BehaveAbility in Cambodia were some of the most satisfying and stimulating professional learning experiences I have ever had. I loved the people, the seminars, the schools and the children. I grew as a professional and as a human being because of these conferences. A fantastic experience.”

Many schools find supportive, constructive, sensitive feedback from an ‘outsider’ an enormous help.
