  1. Results from the IY TCM pilot and RCT trials in Wales Professor Judy Hutchings Centre for Evidence Based Early Intervention Bangor University Email: j.hutchings@bangor.ac.uk 1

  2. First teacher pilot 2002 • 23 teachers, • 2-32 years teaching mean 17 yrs • 15 KS1 (4 - 7 year olds), 2 KS2 (8 - 11 year olds), 3 heads, 3 special needs teachers • 5 days of training, mean 4.7 attendance, • Teacher satisfaction and interview

  3. Teacher Report: Teacher Satisfaction Questionnaire

  4. “I feel I can engage the children’s attention better. They seem to have more respect for me and other pupils. They love being involved in making up rules, and finding strategies to solve problems. The best course I ever attended!” “It was refreshing to come back to the staff-room after the training, not having to say that the best thing about the course was the lunch! It definitely has been a worthwhile experience for me, and for my pupils, and I am eager for other members of my staff to receive this training.”

  5. “I am completely transformed! My views on dealing with misbehaviour have changed radically – and for the better – as reflected in my pupils. I have been going on about the course to my staff – and it’s just a shame that some teachers fail to realise the applicability of adopting a new perspective. I think the only way that they would benefit would be if they all had the opportunity of attending the course.”

  6. Results: pilot blind observation study • Trained teachers: • Used more direct commands • Allowed longer time allowed for compliance • Increased teacher praise • Children show • Reduced non-compliance/increased compliance • Increased positive behaviours to both teachers and pupils

  7. Ysgol Bro Lleu (2008) Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is fostered very effectivelyby a coherent strategy which incorporates and brings together aspects of thecurriculum, personal and social education, circle time, services, the use of the‘Webster-Stratton’ scheme and procedures for promoting good behaviour anddeveloping emotional intelligence. The strategy ensures that there is progressionand balance across the school and the manner in which it is implemented is anoutstanding feature of the school.

  8. Full scale roll out of TCM and Dina in Gwynedd • By 2005 - 16 schools trained and running programme • School inspection results were good • Decision on roll out of TCM and classroom Dina across the county of Gwynedd • Project taken to scale with full time secondment of head teacher to train remaining 80 schools over a three year period, training and supply costs funded by grant • Roll out completed in 2008 and project has continued with ongoing training and support for new staff etc.

  9. The TCM RCT trial • 12 classrooms • 11 schools • Blind observation of teacher and child behaviour • High, moderate and low risk children identified using the teacher completed Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ)

  10. Changes in teacher behaviour Less negatives Less commands

  11. Changes in Pupil Behaviour • More on-task behaviour • Less negative behaviour to teacher
