Over the course of their careers, the Headteacher of Hawkswood Primary PRU (Pupil Referral Unit), Marie Gentles and her deputy, Katie L’Aimable, have begun to see patterns that their mainstream colleagues don’t.

They’ve gone from seeing students’ behaviour as isolated events to understanding that all behaviour is communication.

Marie and Katie tell us what they’ve learned about what some behaviours are communicating and why understanding the root of behaviour is so critical.

The results are astounding.

Tune in to Episode 4, Series 2 of the We Are In Beta podcast to change what you believe is possible with vulnerable learners and how to achieve it.
