Knowledge of teaching and learning in educational contexts

The topic examines the literature and practices in supporting positive student behaviour in school-wide contexts. It briefly examines the main theories of classroom and school discipline including the use of positive behaviour support, but concentrates on the ecology of the classroom and school settings as environments in which student behaviour issues occur. It addresses the relationship between learning, teaching and behaviour, the development of social and relationship skills in schools and ways in which schools support both positive student behaviour as well as managing behaviour change.

This topic aims to explore:

• models of school and classroom management of student behaviour

• the application of positive behaviour support in schools

• the importance of relationship and social skills in maintaining and development positive student behaviours in school settings

On completion of the topic students will be able to demonstrate a knowledge of:

• key models of classroom and school management

• the application of positive behaviour support approaches to classroom and school management

• the application of social and relationship skills in supporting positive behaviours in a learning and teaching context
