Social strength amongst individuals and groups will give the greatest boost to our ambition for a sustainable future. Behaviour management issues with children of all ages are becoming more and more common in the classroom. Western Australia's current policy of inclusion makes the most difficult cases damaging for entire classes and more difficult for teachers.
Increasing behavioural problems are not confined to Australian youth. As a response many programs have been set up and are being adopted around the world. Additional information on programs that have worked to improve social cohesion and interpersonal support are listed below.
If your school has experience with a program (negative or positive) please let us know and we'll share it here.
