Overview
About the course
The Teaching Troubled Children course of the Institute of Child Education and Psychology Europe is designed to meet what is perhaps the greatest challenge in our increasingly inclusive schools: serving the needs of students with social, emotional and behavioural problems. Between 10-15% of pupils in any school will either present with significant emotional and behavioural difficulties or be at risk of such problems, including aggression, anxiety, self-harm and substance abuse. Troubled behaviour is often a child’s way of communicating distress and, in these cases, the right kind of response can make all the difference.
Suitable for teachers and other professionals working in a wide range of settings, this comprehensive course will give you an in-depth understanding of the diverse needs of these vulnerable students, the origins of emotional and behavioural problems, the implications for learning and behaviour, and a wealth of effective support strategies and interventions. You will gain a thorough knowledge of models of best practice for positive behaviour support with individuals, at the level of the classroom and the whole- school. Using the lens of resilience and a strengths-based approach, this course will equip you to foster competence and enhance behaviour, learning and wellbeing.Accreditation
