Empowering Teaching Staff to De-Escalate Extreme Behaviours in Children: A Senior Leader’s Perspective
This is a recording of a past webinar session.
As a senior leader, you are likely called upon throughout the day to support staff to de-escalate in situations where a child is displaying an extreme behaviour. Many senior leaders are also finding that members of staff are asking for senior leadership support much earlier on or for situations that they once would have addressed themselves prior to the pandemic. In this webinar, we will consider:
How to respond to extreme behaviours as a senior leader: working with staff, the child and their parents/caregivers
How to promote teachers’ autonomy to address extreme behaviours to reduce the levels of escalation to SLT
Practical strategies to support staff to address a wider range of behaviours autonomously
Normalising asking for support when staff are struggling in a situation: Raising awareness of the Crisis Curve
