Team Teach Training with Prospero Teaching

Looking for ways to effectively manage challenging behavior in the classroom? Prospero Teaching’s Team Teach training may be the answer.

Team Teach training is often misunderstood as a form of self-defence training for teachers, when in reality it is focused on preventative and de-escalation strategies for managing challenging behavior in the classroom.

The training is designed to provide teachers and teaching assistants with a range of positive, proactive, and preventative strategies for dealing with difficult situations. But what makes Team Teach in particular so valuable, and how can it benefit educators?

Understanding Behaviour as a Form of Communication

One of the key components of Team Teach training is understanding the root causes of challenging behavior and learning how to recognize and respond to warning signs before a situation escalates. This focus on prevention and early intervention is crucial in creating a safer and more positive learning environment for all students.

Another important aspect of Team Teach training is de-escalation techniques, which are designed to help educators manage difficult situations in a calm and controlled manner. These techniques include verbal and nonverbal communication strategies, active listening, and understanding the importance of creating a safe and secure environment.

This training covers how to use physical restraint techniques safely for instances where a young person is acting in a way which puts themselves and/or others around them in danger of harm.

It’s worth mentioning that Team Teach training also covers legislation, legalities and the ethical considerations of handling challenging behavior, as well as provide support and guidance to educators on how to document and report incidents.

Non-Physical Interventions for Managing Behaviours

Team Teach is useful to understand even if it is unlikely that you will need to use physical restraint in the classroom because it provides a wide range of tools and strategies for effectively managing challenging behaviors and de-escalating conflicts. This includes non-physical interventions such as verbal de-escalation techniques and creating a positive classroom culture.

Having this knowledge can be beneficial in a variety of situations, not just those where physical restraint might be necessary.

Understanding the Root Causes of Challenging Behavior: Key to Effective Solutions

By understanding the underlying reasons for a student’s behavior, educators can develop targeted and effective strategies for addressing it. This can help prevent future incidents and create a more supportive and inclusive learning environment.

But the benefits of Team Teach training don’t stop there. It can also help reduce stress and improve mental health for educators, creating a more positive and supportive work environment. And by creating a safer and more positive classroom environment, educators can focus on delivering high-quality instruction and helping students achieve their learning goals.
