Page 6 - Coping With Students Challenging Behaviour

INTRODUCTION
This manual is created by four schools during the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership project “Coping with students challenging behaviour”. The coordinator of this project was Pärnu Päikese School from Estonia, partners “Dr. Zlatan Sremec”- Skopje from North Macedonia, Rigas Valda Avotina pamatskola from Latvia and Institut for working rehabilitation for physically handicapped citizens from Slovakia.
The idea of “Coping with students challenging behaviour” project appeared after attending the TCA seminar in Poland’’School to school (S2S) partnerships- how to plan an excellent project’’ for headmasters and teachers of special schools. We are European schools with a different background, mentality and experiences, still, we all face the same problem- how to deal with challenging behaviour of children with special needs during the school day.
Aim of the project was to share best practice in other countries in order to increase staff competences about methods and approaches of preventing and reducing students’ challenging behaviour.
During the project we worked towards our aim, we shared and collected many methods and approaches and with this manual we are happy to share our collections of them.
May this manual help parents, teachers and other specialists to instruct, redirect and teach students with special needs the way that less challenging behaviour occurs. The manual also provides approaches on how to deal with already appeared challenging behaviour.
