Overview

Responding to the Challenge of Social, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties.

The lessons arising from research on resilience and risk factors suggest that we need to focus more on building strengths and competence. This course will equip you with the skills to foster a culture of competence in your school and classroom; you will learn how to develop effective systems for identifying at-risk students, and provide high intensity supports for high intensity problems.

This course is fully online and self paced meaning you can do your 20 hours of study at any time and place that suits you. You will be supported throughout by an expert tutor. This course takes place three times per year.

Description

This course 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.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
