The Behaviour Specialist

Behaviour specialist, author, education reformer and advisor. Helping teachers and headteachers across the world with transformational relational behaviour practice.

As a teacher, leader and teacher trainer Paul has been working with the most difficult behaviours in the most challenging contexts for the last 27 years. Miraculously Paul studied at Homerton College Cambridge after countless attempts to sabotage his own education. He is a speaker in high demand engaging huge audiences in practical ways to transform their classrooms, relationships and schools. Paul also works with Leadership Teams to create seismic shifts in culture and behaviour.

​

Paul fell in love with teaching while working as a Teaching Assistant after leaving school. Teaching both inspired and drew him in due to the creativity, the variety and the cohort after cohort of utterly brilliant children he encountered. He taught in schools surrounded by poverty in London, Nuneaton and Birmingham across all ages. Tough places with big hearts and fantastic children. Paul was commended for leading school behaviour policy and practice through intensive inspection. He has walked the walk.

Paul has delivered training and spoken on large stages all over the world, advised the English Department for Education on Teacher Standards, given evidence to the Education Select Committee and carried out extensive work with the Ministry of Justice on Behaviour and Restraint in Youth Custody.

His book When The Adults Change, Everything Changes published in 2017 by Crown House has sold more than 120,000 copies. The follow up After the Adults Change was released last year and has been a best-seller on Amazon.

Paul works internationally on Behaviour, Culture and School Reform He is currently writing a new Parenting book for Penguin Random House and Tweets too much on @PaulDixTweets.

NCETM Primary Maths Mastery Materials

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
We've split the curriculum up into a small number of areas - we call these 'spines' -

Spine 1: Number, Addition and Subtraction,

Spine 2: Multiplication and Division and

Spine 3: Fractions.

Each spine is composed of a number of segments, and we've provided a recommended teaching sequence for segments across the three spines.

An explanation of the structure of these materials, with guidance on how teachers can use them, is contained in a Getting Started video we've put together for you.

Unlike a textbook scheme they are not designed to be directly lifted and used as teaching materials. The materials can support teachers to develop their subject and pedagogical knowledge and so help to improve mathematics teaching in combination with other high-quality resources, such as textbooks.

You can find out how one primary school is using the materials in this article.

In addition to the materials themselves, we have also interviewed a range of teachers who have been using the materials, and they tell us how it is going.

Podcast - ADHD - Ideas for Activating and Stimulating

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In this episode of the Pooky Ponders Podcast, I explore some simple ideas that can work well for children with ADHD who are sensory-seeking and need of a little activation and stimulation in order to enable to them to continue to engage. The ideas could be used in a range of contexts but are designed to be usable within a classroom setting too as this is often a more challenging place to meet an ADHD child's need for sensory input.
