Behaviours that Challenge (Education)

Programme Overview

The Behaviours that Challenge module will enable participants to acquire a thorough professional knowledge and understanding of behaviours that challenge, including theoretical and conceptual dimensions and to equip them with the necessary knowledge, skills and competencies to be effective in supporting the education of those with behaviours that challenge/behaviours of concern in various contexts. Participants will be enabled to develop a holistic and systemic approach to meeting the needs of individuals with behaviours that challenge. The module is delivered using online components as well as face-to-face workshops.

Please Note: We will not be accepting new applications for this module for the 2024-2025 academic year as the current module structure is undergoing a redesign. Applications will open for the 2025-2026 academic year when the new module has been developed. We will advertise the new programme in 2025 on our website and we look forward to welcoming new students for September 2025.

Requirements and Assessment

Continuous assessment will apply throughout the programme. It will combine coursework on relevant aspects of Special Educational Needs with e-tivities, discussion boards, portfolio/project-based learning, literature reviews and case studies, which will be carried out within an appropriate educational context during the academic year. The concept of the ‘reflective practitioner’ will be a basic criterion permeating all forms of assessment.
