Understanding and Reacting Right to Student Misbehaviour

---

Behaviour is communication—respond with insight, not impulse.

Challenging behaviour in the classroom can disrupt learning—but it also offers valuable information about student needs.

This course helps educators move beyond surface-level reactions by developing a deeper understanding of why misbehaviour happens, and how to respond in ways that are calm, consistent, and constructive. With a focus on both prevention and response, the training blends theory with practical strategies for real-world classrooms.

In this course, you will learn to:

• Identify the underlying causes of different types of misbehaviour
  
  

• Distinguish between defiance, distress, and disengagement
  
  

• Apply proactive strategies to reduce disruption and promote self-regulation
  
  

• Use language and body cues to de-escalate with respect and clarity
  
  

• Reflect on your own responses and build a consistent behaviour approach
  
  

Ideal for teachers who want to create classrooms that are calm, respectful, and rooted in understanding—not punishment.
