Behaviour Management

The Core Induction Programme for the Early Careers Framework covers the five core areas of the ECF. We have taken these five core areas and created the links to each of the alternative four Providers so that you can compare the materials from each. Schools can use any of the four programmes or mix and match from the materials available. This section focuses on Behaviour management.

Ambition Institute

This is composed of 12 modules and has been designed to last a term. They suggest that it is best completed during the first term as an NQT – typically the autumn term.

Creating a predictable and secure classroom environment, managing pupil behaviour and holding high expectations all contribute to more successful learning. The strand looks at how to create an effective learning environment. It considers how to promote the behaviours that make learning effective.

• How to establish an effective learning environment.
• How to effectively manage behaviour.
• The importance of holding and promoting high expectations for all pupils.
