Relational practice in northumberland 

Our Northumberland schools worked hard in 2023 to create highly relational, inclusive and trauma educated classrooms.

 

We have witnessed relationships being nurtured by adults and welcomed by our learners. More children and young people feel supported and safe with levels of confidence and resilience rising in our communities.

​

We began 2024 with a welcome from Paul Dix who reminded us why relationships still matter and how to develop cultures that are rich in emotional currency and inclusive, fair and nurturing for every learner.

​

We are now encouraging schools to work through the WTAC Behaviour Change Online Course. If you'd like to organise fully funded access to the course for your school please email Bookings@WhenTheAdultsChange.com 

Once you have done this you will be able to sign in via the course login tab.

​

The course is truly transformative, and will ensure that you are able to:
● Establish clear boundaries; your class, your rules
● Manage tricky behaviours with a relational focus
● Create a plan for every day and a plan for the difficult days
● Engage in serious systems thinking
● Know how to manage your own response
● Develop teachable moments, even when behaviour is wobbly
● See how behaviour communicates
