Rethinking Challenging Behaviour in Schools with Andy Baker
What if the behaviours we find most difficult aren’t the problem – but the clue?This session invites educators to rethink how they understand and respond to behaviour, challenging the limits of traditional reward and sanction systems. Rather than asking “How do we stop this behaviour?”, we explore a more useful question: “What is this behaviour telling us?”
