Positive Behaviour Management is a training company that has been in operation since 2004.

We specialise in school discipline and teacher development and run courses for teachers and parenting workshops. We have implemented our full discipline programme countrywide.

We work within the Department of Education's guidelines and all our policies are in line with the Schools Act, Circular 74 and the Constitution.

We offer alternatives to corporal punishment, the typical merit/demerit systems and have found our strategies to be very effective.

Assertive Discipline is unique because the focus is on positive discipline and boosting the learner's self-esteem rather than a punitive, negative system that constantly threatens with punishments.

We believe that classes are made up of three groups. 5% of the class falls into the Intrinsically motivated group, 5% are the EBD's (Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties) and 90% of the class are tourists who will follow whichever groups gets the most attention. In most classes it’s the EBD's who achieve this and therefore the tourists follow and behave badly. As a result, a culture of bad behaviour becomes the norm.

Positive Behaviour Management can show you how to break this cycle in your classroom, school, or home!
