About this deal

Whilst great observation gives us the detail we need, being intuitively insightful allows us to connect the dots in the most efficient and effective fashion. Intuitive insightfulness comes, not just from being a teacher and leader but from years of experience in shifting policy to irresistible practice. Our coaches understand the nuances of school policy. They shift mindsets but also do the systems thinking that sustain change.

After leaving school at 16 and trying lots of jobs he was terrible at, Tony trained as a Teacher in Liverpool. He then started as a classroom teacher, initially in Geography and later Psychology. He has worked as an Advisory Teacher for Tower Hamlets Behaviour Support Team, been a SENCo in two mainstream secondary schools and Pastoral Deputy Head, DSL and Inclusion lead.Steve is known for his passionate, inspiring, and hugely engaging style of presentation. He is equally at home ‘around the table’ with primary and secondary senior leadership teams, supporting them to link the big strategic messages to everyday practice in classrooms and beyond.

Our coaches see past that which is immediately noticeable to explore deeper patterns. Being deeply experienced and extraordinarily observant they can give you the insight you need to create transformational change. This is not just another set of eyes on your practice; it is an expert eye from the UKs best practitioners.As a teacher, leader and teacher trainer, Paul has been working with the most difficult behaviours in the most challenging contexts for the last 27 years. Miraculously Paul studied at Homerton College Cambridge after countless attempts to sabotage his own education. He is a speaker in high demand engaging huge audiences in practical ways to transform their classrooms, relationships and schools. Paul also works with Leadership Teams to create seismic shifts in culture and behaviour. scripted interventions and approaches which have been tried and tested in a range of contexts, from the most challenging urban comprehensives to the most privileged international schools, behaviour training expert and When the Adults Change director Paul Dix advocates an inclusive approach that is practical, transformative and rippling with respect for staff and learners. An approach in which behavioural expectations and boundaries are exemplified by people, not by a thousand rules that nobody can recall. When learners are struggling they need support, not red lines and stern faces. They don’t need the dark suits of doom, but rather a learning coach, detached from any process, to support, mentor and guide. (A problem solver, not a process monkey, remember?) A skilled, empathetic specialist who can work with the learner to meet their immediate needs and stem the flow of poor conduct.” A focus on adult behaviour is the only responsible approach. Emotionally mature adults are flexible enough to change, to be present in the toughest moments and to judge slowly. They are patient, encouraging and kind. Through the fog of anger they keep everyone safe. In the calm light of day they build rapport and emotional currency. Their expectations are always high and they will never drop their own standards because of the poor behaviour of a learner. The adults who work with the most difficult behaviours are always in control of themselves before they attempt to take control of others. Build a school that is full of them and there are no limits to achievement”

In the beginning, practise scripted intervention with your loveliest children – the ones who would very rarely need a scripted intervention. They may look at you strangely but it’s a great way to get used to the technique. Don’t try to use it immediately with the most challenging pupils.”Narrated by Paul Dix himself, this audiobook is suitable for teachers and school leaders - in any setting - who are looking to upgrade their approach to school behaviour. Tony now works as a trainer and consultant working with a range of providers and is still fascinated by behaviour and human relationships. He is passionate about improving opportunities and life chances for all young people. Tony has worked with Senior Teams to build behaviour policy and practice at whole school level, as well as supporting Local Authorities in their Inclusion Strategy. Paul Dix has written an informative book which is easy to read and full of useful scripts and anecdotes.
