Description

In this episode, Clare talks to Helly Douglas, Head of Content at Team Teach, about the importance of continuing professional development around behaviour support.

They talk about the difference between behaviour management and behaviour support, and why we need to remain curious about behaviour to understand what is driving it. Helly shares the benefits of ongoing learning between and after training events, and how this approach can help embed a positive culture of behaviour support.

Helly is a behaviour specialist and Head of Content at Team Teach, overseeing the planning and production of all contentfor the organisation. Before this, she worked in both primary and secondary education for over 16 years, where she had a particular interest in supporting children with additional needs.

Helly shares three tips during the episode:

• Our understanding of behaviour is continually evolving so we need to regularly review and evaluate our approaches.
• Working in high-pressure environments can sometimes affect our confidence so ongoing CPD can empower us with the knowledge, skills, and understanding to support a rangeof behaviours.
• We are all busy professionals so ‘micro-learning’ and smaller moments of input can be incredibly valuable.
