We emphasize clear communication with parents, carers and the young person themself, ensuring that all individuals involved in a student’s life are aligned, informed, and actively engaged in supporting their behavior. At Team Teach, we view all behavior as a form of communication and are committed to providing the tools and strategies needed to support positive outcomes for every learner.

We recognise that all behavior is communication. Understanding the function of behavior is essential to addressing the underlying needs of students effectively and proactively. By identifying the reasons behind behavior and responding with empathy and evidence-based strategies, we empower educators to create positive outcomes for students, staff and the wider school community.

From de-escalation techniques to emotional regulation and restorative practices, our program supports educators in addressing behavior that need support while maintaining a safe and caring learning environment.
