Courses and Workshops for Teachers

The Bringing the Best out in Boys course explores what motivates and de-motivates boys and gives teachers practical communication tools to improve boys’ performance. It provides strategies that reduce time spent managing difficult behaviour, improve cooperation in the classroom and create a positive learning environment. An INSET day covers:

• Channelling boys’ energy
• Structure, boundaries and discipline
• Improving boys’ emotional literacy
• Building self-esteem
• How to avoid nagging and shouting
• Humour and playfulness

The course is suitable for teachers, teacher managers, support assistants and lunchtime staff. A condensed version can be delivered as a twilight session.

'This is one of the best courses I have been on. Instead of dwelling on theory you’ve given us solutions we can go back and apply in the classroom.'

Joy Andrews, Assistant Principal

'Working with you has really opened our eyes and changed our mindset. As a school we are now more aware and understanding of boys’ needs and have implemented various strategies to ensure boys are not disadvantaged in the school environment.'

Marguerite Asquith, Headteacher

Courses and Workshops for Parents and Carers

Lucinda offers a two-hour evening that gives insights into how boys view the world and advice on communication strategies to use at home. It covers the same principles as the workshop for teachers and so encourages a consistent approach between home and school.

This workshop can be extended to go into more depth and cover areas such as emotional literacy. Such a course could be particularly valuable for care workers and foster carers.

'That was fantastic – thank you. I had felt we were reaching crisis. Tonight I have really looked at my behaviour and want to go home and give him a hug and try to let him know I do accept him.'

Parent

'… two really impressive and engaging presentations. The fact that our staff are not only still talking about the strategies, but smiling broadly when one is trialled and actually works, says it all better than I can, as did the parents' warm response.'

Courses and Workshops for other Professions Working with Boys

Workshops can be tailored to the particular needs of health care professionals, social
workers, police and PCSOs, and those working in youth offending teams.

'We found the whole day to be thought provoking, relevant, engaging and practical. The impact of the day cannot be under-estimated - a year on it still informs our daily interaction ... and has made an immense impact on our belief that we can actually make a difference.'
