Welcome to the Supportive Behaviour Management collaborative 'Ning' site

SBM is an inclusive, emotionally intelligent approach to behaviour management which open the doors for teachers and pupils to access on-demand support and strategies to manage the sometimes difficult situations that can occur in the classroom. These can include short-term positive in-class support as well as positive proactive exit strategies when issues pass the emotionally critical threshold.

The aim of this site is to promote discussion of behaviour matters in a positive light and to look at strategies which support challenging and disaffected students in education.
I would hope contributors and members will focus on the child - centred, repair and recovery, or restorative justice based approach to managing behaviour, rather than the traditional compliance-based model which is so prevalent in schools.

It is easier to build a child than repair an adult
