SHSM Program – Behaviour Management

Our SHSM programs allow your students to gain a certificate for participation in a three-hour workshop as required by the Ontario Ministry of Education. Students will explore principles of behaviour management that apply to the delivery of child and youth programs in all areas. Full-time staff from our School Visits and Camps program co-lead this workshop, which provides an understanding of motivations for behaviour and identifies strategies to apply when working in group settings. This workshop will allow students to define key terms related to behaviour management, ask students to consider what criteria are required to create an environment conducive to learning/participation, then consider how to address off-task or undesirable behaviours through various techniques and strategies, role plays and scenarios.

• Identify key criteria when developing behaviour management strategies to support full participation in a variety of group activities.
• Participate in a series of role plays, scenario-based discussions and open brainstorms to help build their knowledge base of behaviour management strategies.
• Use vocabulary related to behaviour management appropriately.
