One of the most challenging promotions in school is the leap from middle to senior management. From having a specific role within the middle management of the school structure, you suddenly find yourself needing a global overview of the school where you are responsible for many in the vision, leadership and management of learning and teaching. It is an exciting prospect to both tackle and enjoy. But be careful!

Student Monitoring & Mentoring to Enhance Personalised Learning: Pastoral Leaders
Pastoral Care and Behaviour
In recent years pastoral leaders have found that their role has changed. They are now more involved in students' learning and attainment, with less emphasis on behaviour management. This requires the development of new skills including, for example, making use of predictive data. This course examines the contribution that monitoring and mentoring can make to raising attainment - through the use of a coaching model.
It also looks at strategies to avoid being drawn into the fire-fighting roles of the past and looks at ways of managing and supporting colleagues.

Student Voice
Pastoral Care and Behaviour
This is a practical, "hands on" course that will enable you to begin - or develop - your consultation process with your students. The issues for consultation that will benefit all staff will be identified. Some of the more contentious issues, and findings from the tutors' work with students, will be shared. At the forefront of our agenda is school improvement. Schools who consult young people will develop a stong sense of membership and partnership, with opportunity for dialogue and support. To enhance our learning we need to enable young people to take an active part in their education.
Surviving and Thriving as a Relatively New Cover Supervisor
Pastoral Care and Behaviour
The reforms brought in by the re-modelling of the teaching workforce have put large numbers of colleagues who have had no formal training on managing a classroom environment in front of whole classes of pupils. This course focuses on the absolute basics and provides practical strategies to manage classrooms full of pupils, many of whom may be there reluctantly. Colleagues attending this course will leave with hundreds of simple strategies that can be applied the very next day to make their lessons more effective for pupils' learning, and less stressful for them.
The Attraction of Alcohol, Drugs, Guns, Knives and Gangs
Pastoral Care and Behaviour
Many young people in this country are in crisis. The continuing rise in negative behaviour adversely affects their ability to attend, behave or learn in school. An alarming rise in deaths of young people from guns and knives since 2007 shows no sign of abating, fuelled by the increasing number of gangs and the gang culture.
This course looks at all negative behaviour: bullying, cyber bullying, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, risky and inappropriate relationships, gangs, gun and knife crime as well as young people's mental health.

The Effective Pastoral Leader
Pastoral Care and Behaviour

How should school pastoral teams address the critical agenda?

Working with Disruptive or Disaffected Pupils
Pastoral Care and Behaviour
The rates of depression, self-harm, suicide, alcohol, drugs, obesity, stress, truancy and teenage pregnancy are rising. Many children are having to handle family breakdown. Many schools are in the headlines with incidents of bullying, disruptive behaviour and even murder. Whilst we may understand and empathise with many of the reasons for disruptive behaviour, we still need to keep a secure and safe learning environment in our schools. We cannot achieve this unless we have the skills to manage disruptive behaviour.
