Avoiding the Use of Group Sanctions: CPD Training Bundle

A 30-slide PowerPoint designed to last between 30 minutes to 1 hour, this time-saving and ready-to-roll CPD session on avoiding the use of group sanctions is a perfect way to train staff in the different ways they can manage challenging behaviour without collectively punishing or sanctioning pupils who weren't part of the disruptive behaviour.

The session begins with the Mapping section, which outlines how collective group sanctions can erode trust between staff and pupils, damage peer relationship and build resentment (and therefore future potential behaviour issues) among pupils who are unfairly sanctioned for other pupils' misbehaviour. This is followed by the Routes Forward section, which gives staff practical examples of addressing group behaviour management situations without using collective sanctions through identifying specific behaviours and pupils, using clear and consistent expectations, reinforcing positive behaviour and addressing the root causes of misbehaviour.

Presenter training notes are built into the PowerPoint to support you when delivering it to staff. With examples, behaviour management scenarios and thoughtful questions, the training PowerPoint allows for collaboration and sharing between staff members so you can be sure everyone's on the same page when it comes to knowing the strategies to use to avoid group sanctions.

The accompanying Training Action Plan allows staff to identify their start point and mirrors how the training session is laid out, allowing them to create their own bespoke action plan with strategies that address any gaps in their current behaviour management.

In addition to this, the ten Behaviour Management Scenarios can be selected from to use in the training session itself or be delivered as a follow-up, allowing staff to show their understanding of the content and apply solutions to real-life scenarios where staff should avoid group sanctions and utilise alternative methods of behaviour management.

This behaviour management CPD session is designed to provide a quick solution for school leaders looking to train staff with behaviour support strategies to avoid collective punishments and group sanctions in the classroom. It's particularly useful for staff with less experience in behaviour management, such as ECTs, trainee teachers, teaching assistants, learning support assistants or any other staff members who need some extra support in managing behaviour.

The PowerPoint and the accompanying Word templates are fully editable but equally can be used 'as is' to present directly to the staff members of your choosing. The flexibility of the design and the length of the session means you can tailor it to support behaviour issues that you're currently facing as well as delivering it at a time convenient to you and your school.
