The following training programmes and workshops, have been those most frequently requested. They do not represent the only programmes HME deliver.

Behaviour Management

Teacher training often spends much time on the pedagogies of the classroom or the curriculum and very lttle time on managing behaviour. In some countries teachers resort to corporal punishment when they have been told not to shout, not to use a cane but to use other methods. Behaviour management is an issue in almost every classroom in the world. Even experienced teachers find it helpful to review ways in which disruptive behaviour can be managed or eradicated. Many reward systems or behaviour strategies last for a very short period, sometimes parents don't appear to care and then teachjers are left to flounder alone and without support. Hunter Murray's series of five workshops offer a new approach to behaviour management leaving traditional methods behind and exploring real ways which will enable teachers to apply imaginative and practical ideas and solutions to prevent low level disruption and to help resolve poor behaviour in ttraumatic situations.

Teaching Large Classes

We would all like to teach in classes or 20-25 enthusiastic children who enjoy learning and hang on our every word. That, however, is not the norm for thousands of schools across the world where classes in excess of 40-45 are normal. How can we teach these students in an effactive and dynamic way. We recommend that this programme be a series of two - four workshops with a very practical emphasis. They are a lot of fun but deliver a powerful message that can be easily translated into the classroom quickly and effectively.If you have large classes and teachers stuck in the same old routines this is for you.

Developing Multiple Intelligences

Understanding emotional, social and spiritual intelligence, and how they relate to one another.How emotionally literate is your school? How do you know? Do you consider the emotional and social needs of your children, for example, when choosing literature and planning units of learning? Is there a balance between practical and written activities? Can every child have an experience every day in your school that is uplifting and stimulates their individual learning? Are there opportunities for children and young people to feel good about themselves, others and their immediate environment? How do you know how your children and young people are feeling? With our support, your school community can begin to understand the relationships that are developing in your school.We can support you as you take a visionary and innovative approach to learning, considering how the curriculum is truly reflecting, celebrating and valuing the diversity of the school and its people. We will support you in ensuring that your vision for the school is reflected in every aspect of school life to ensure a cohesive, forward thinking learning community.
