 Free Offer for SENCOs 

Our colleagues at Dreyfus training are about to launch "Provision Mapper" which is a brand new Provision Management software tool for SENCos.

This software support is designed with the SENCo's needs at heart. It takes the pain out of Provision Management by enabling you to swiftly create, manage and distribute a variety of provision maps, from whole school maps to individual pupil provision maps and many things in between.

Provision Mapper is compatible with school based systems such as SIMS and Integris; is simple to use; is packed with time saving features; will run on any PC with Windows 98 or above; and comes with comprehensive video tutorials and user manual.

Provision Mapper reflects the Provision Management guidance published by the Special Educational Needs Joint Initiative on Training (SENJiT) at the Institute of Education, written Mary Hrekow, one of our senior associates and a key member of the Provision Mapper development team.

To receive your free, no-obligation, fully featured evaluation copy of Provision Mapper when it is released this July follow this link "Provision Mapper Offer".

Teaching Thoughtful Behaviour Our intention has always been to apply the behaviour education strategy to develop more mindful awareness in our pupils of their own behaviour. We are now able to develop that strategy further with the arrival of Scott Young to our training team. Scott has been working on the merger of Assertive Discipline with the principles of meditation. He has now produced that as a new course "Teaching Thoughtful Behaviour." See our training programme for details.

A Good Childhood?  The recently published Children's Society report "A Good Childhood" provides further confirmation of our own analysis that despite better educational and health facilities, and more material possessions, children's lives are more difficult now than they were in the past. This is the conclusion from the largest survey into childhood ever to be conducted in the UK. It backs up our own observations that the task of the teacher today is more demanding than ever before, and that teachers deserve better training and preparation for coping with these challenges. The report “A Good Childhood” was published on 2nd February 2009. See our News page for a summary. 

Business leadership training for school leaders. Following last year's demand for more, we are continuing our Training in Situational Leadership II Project in 2009 -

We earlier had asked managers if they needed a practical approach to leadership in our schools that all members of staff can readily understand and follow?  "Yes but how?" was the response. The acknowledged best fit model for teaching others how to lead is Situational Leadership® II.  In the business world however this 2 day training typically costs over £1000 per person. Our SLII project is providing schools with the same training for 1/3 the cost. Read about it in our news section.

Contact us now for a place on our next Situational Leadership® II programme - 2 days intensive training in small groups for £395 per person - telephone us on 0870 241 8262 or email info@behaviour-learning.com 

POSITIVE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT USING SITUATIONAL LEADERSHIP II  - Read our complete Situational Leadership II series  - We have now completed the series of articles on the application of Situational Leadership II to Performance Management in schools. These were commissioned by Managing Schools Today magazine and published in the last 4 editions. We have now made them all available for you to read (and copy) at our downloads page.

 Launch of our Management & Leadership website - as a result of the business world taking interest in our work on leadership and organisational development we have set up a sister company Learning Management Ltd to specialise in that particular area of expertise.
