The process for whole school access

Below is information for those of you who are interested in rolling out the course with all staff. 

Sign up to the course

Complete our sign up form and we will enrol every member of staff onto the course platform ready for you to begin to roll things out. Let us know if you’d like the senior leadership team to have access first to make a plan. We will work with whatever suits you best!

Make a plan

Introduce your leadership team to the course so that they can get familiar with the learning platform and make a plan for the year. You may choose to complete all modules over a few terms and spend the rest of the year focusing on embedding the approach and tweaking practice. Whatever works best for you!

Roll it out

Once you have a plan of action, introduce it to your staff in a twilight meeting or on an inset day and let them know the plan for completing the modules. You might ask them to do them individually by a certain date, or together in your twilight meetings.

Embed and monitor impact!

As you all work through the modules, make sure you are using the resources available to help you all implement what you have learnt. You will begin to adapt your behaviour policy and environments and you will begin to see changes to staff language and responses. Before you know it you will see a significant impact on the children’s behaviour and emotional intelligence. You can monitor before and after data from your Cpoms records, attendance and level of SEMH needs to evidence this.
