Webinar Recording: Proactively Managing Student Behaviour using the TERA Model

Please note that the revised Standards for Registered Training Organisations were publicly released on 1 October 2024 and will come into full regulatory effect from 1 July 2025.

The Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015 will continue to apply until then.

This webinar recording refers to, and is based on, the requirements for the current regulatory environment.

Topic overview:

This webinar explained how you can take a proactive approach to managing student behaviour. Drawing on the fields of neuroscience and evolutionary psychology, we explored the TERA model, and how it can be used to promote student engagement while reducing the likelihood of the unproductive behaviours we want to avoid.

By the end of this session you will be able to:

• Identify the question that our brain asks five times a second and how it influences our behaviour.
• Recognise the four key elements of psychological safety and how these influence a person’s engagement and disengagement.
• Apply practical techniques to meet these elements and create the conditions in which people are less likely to disengage or participate in unproductive behaviour.

This was an engaging webinar that will get you thinking about the many small things you can do (and the things to avoid) to encourage your learners towards a positive, optimistic and engaged attitude.

Note: This webinar  was about proactive behaviour management. We  did  not explore strategies for addressing unproductive or disruptive behaviour when it occurs. Instead, it was about creating the conditions to avoid those undesirable behaviours in the first place!
