Responding to Behaviours of Concern (RBOC).
A model and coach approach to responding to behaviours of concern combines instructional modelling with real-time coaching in the regular classroom to help teachers manage and address challenging student behaviours.
Here's how it works:
Modelling:
- Expert live demonstration: as behaviour specialists we demonstrate specific techniques and strategies for responding to behaviours of concern in the regular classroom environment. This will be live not role-playing scenarios, allowing education professionals to observe behaviour responses that can be implemented in real-time.
- Practical strategies: these may include positive behaviour reinforcement, de-escalation techniques, preventative measure techniques, and learner engagement strategies.
Coaching:
- Playback: after modelling, we observe the education professional in action, providing immediate, constructive feedback on how they apply what they themselves have just observed.
- Reflection: we engage in reflective practice conversations to discuss what worked, what didn’t, and hear from the education professional how they feel they can refine their approach.
Benefits of this approach:
- Hands-on learning: education professionals see and practice techniques in real-time, making it easier to understand and apply them in daily classroom situations.
- Confidence building: education professionals feel more empowered to respond to behaviours of concern or deploy preventative measures to adversity, reducing classroom stress and improving student outcomes.
