Behaviour management - there are two ways of looking at it...

9/8/2016

Two aspects of behaviour management...

​There are two ways of looking at behaviour management:

1. What to do when students are not behaving

2. How to prevent them from misbehaving in the first place!  Commonly referred to as behaviour for learning

These will be covered in this week’s blog posts
What is poor behaviour?
Anything which impacts negatively on the learning of others
 
What is good behaviour?
Motivated, excited learners who are engaged and focused on the tasks, making clear progress each lesson.

First - be clear on your own expectations

We want students to behave so all of them can learn. If they, or others around them, are distracted, then the learning will not happen and knowledge will not be fully embedded (Future blog topic: recall and memory)

This will be your classroom – and it is important that you
  1. decide your expectations
  2. share your expectations
  3. maintain your expectations

Don’t make the mistake of thinking you can allow them to be a little more relaxed in your room, or that you can loosen the reins a little. Firstly - this can only happen successfully once you have gained their respect. Secondly – it is vital that you uphold the school expectations.

Students want to know that they are supported in their learning in every classroom in the same way, and that poor behaviour will not get in the way of any student being able to learn.
​

What all students want:

  • A fair classroom
  • A structured learning environment
  • A place where they are learning new things
  • Somewhere where they are clearly making progress.
 
Hence – a classroom where all are expected to behave.

​A consistent classroom makes for a consistent school.
