NPQ for Leading Behaviour and Culture

National Professional Qualification in Leading Behaviour and Culture (NPQLBC)

We’re pleased to announce that we are partnering with education charity Ambition Institute to deliver the NPQ in Leading Behaviour and Culture.

 

In 12 months, you will gain expertise in behaviour management and discover how to create a culture where staff and pupils can thrive.

 

  • > One of a series of new, specialist NPQs
  • > Flexible learning to suit your timetable
  • > Work with and learn from your peers
  • > Create a positive culture in your school

 

Why this programme?


Ambition Institute has designed this ground-breaking NPQ to help you develop a culture of high expectations and good behaviour in your school.

 

Ambition’s 'little and often' approach uses the latest evidence to help you put your learning into practice in your school setting. You will train alongside other teachers with similar responsibilities, with content focusing on the key challenges you face in your role.

 

With no project work and minimal time out of school, the new NPQs are designed to fit around your busy timetable.

 

 Benefits for you

 

Become an expert

No matter what your ultimate career goal, this programme offers continuous professional development and a chance to develop specific expertise with tailored feedback and support.

 

Drive meaningful change

Develop your knowledge in leading behaviour and culture and apply it in practice across your school to engage and motivate staff and pupils and reduce disruption in classrooms.

 

Create a positive school culture

Learn to think beyond managing individual classrooms and develop school-wide systems and processes to support pupils and get the best out of them.

 

Train to your timetable

This programme is designed to fit around your busy teaching role and much of the work can be completed in bite-size chunks around your existing schedule.

 

Build your network

You will complete this programme alongside other teachers working in similar school environments. This gives you a chance to share your experiences and build a valuable support network.

 

Benefits for your school

 

Improve pupil outcomes

Pupils are more likely to thrive in a positive and encouraging school environment driven by model behaviour and a consistent approach to rules and rewards.

 

Build a positive culture

Investing in your teachers’ development will make them feel supported and more satisfied in their work. This will filter down to the classroom, creating happier, more motivated pupils.

 

Highly flexible delivery

Our new NPQs are designed to fit around your teachers’ existing working timetables and are delivered in short, sharp bursts of learning. Your participants can complete weekly, online units, at a time that suits them.

 

Create a common knowledge base

All of Ambition Institute’s NPQs are aligned. Teachers and leaders who complete them share a common language and framework to drive behavioural and cultural change across your school.

 

Share knowledge

Participants will be learning alongside other teachers whose contexts are similar, facilitated by experienced trainers who know and understand your needs.

 

Curriculum

This programme follows the Department of Education’s National Professional Qualification (NPQ): Leading Behaviour and Culture Framework.

 

You will learn how to:

  • > create a culture of high expectations across your school
  • > support the development of a positive, predictable and safe environment for pupils
  • > assist pupils with complex behavioural needs
  • > nurture improvement through evidence-based professional development

Note: programme content is subject to change.

 

Assessment


The assessment window starts at the end of the 12-month programme and runs for three months. During this time, participants will be given an eight-day window to sit an ‘open book’ style assessment in which they respond to a short case study.

 

There are two assessment windows every year, and participants can sit the assessment two times, if they need to.

 

You need to complete the course to qualify for the NPQ accreditation.

 

Ambition Institute will offer a webinar and live clinic in advance of the assessment window to support participants.

 

Apply


To apply, you must be a teacher who has, or is aspiring to have, responsibilities for leading behaviour and/or supporting pupil wellbeing in your school.
