The headlines

Relational practice is a key foundation of a more nurturing school that values children and young people. The relational approach aims to help children to feel safe, connected, and capable - ready to learn and to develop. Research evidence suggests that positive teacher-pupil relationships can be one of the largest factors in improved behaviour and academic attainment. For example, John Hattie's research found that teacher-student relationships were a more important factor in attainment than metacognition or direct instruction.

This course will build on your existing practice and develop your skills to make the most of this powerful approach. On successful completion of the course, you'll receive a certificate of completion.
